Twenty-one Phillips High School students got the chance to give back today by serving with the Shoals area Habitat For Humanity. Mr. Mike King, JAG instructor, organized the event as a service project through Jobs For Americas Graduates (JAG) and local PHS JAG classes.
The annual Federal Programs Advisory Committee met today at the Marion County Board of Education. We always appreciate the discussion and suggestions of the members present.
Thank you to Mrs. Melinda Weaver and Alabama Power for their generosity in providing grant opportunities for our programs and students. Mr. Chris Farris and Mr. Ren Garrison are the proud recipients of Power To Play grants for their band and theater programs.

Great news for the coming school year!!! Marion County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Program. The CEP program is a PILOT program for the 23-24 school year that allows all enrolled students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost! CEP is based on the overall economic status of our regional area. NO free or reduced applications will be needed from parents this school year. No action is required by parents for students to eat free. Please note the first complete meal is free, however extra plates or items must be purchased. All visiting children, adults, and employees will be required to pay for meals. www.paypams.com is still available for anyone that wishes to add money to his or her child(ren)'s accounts. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
