In addition to the weekly Pioneers' Centennial blog, a dedicated Centennial Times email keeps those who have registered their email address with us 'in the know' on all things related to Pioneers' Centennial year. The current Times email includes highlights from some of completed Centennial grants projects that have taken place so far including:
AT&T, Alabama Chapter, K!dSpark
On April 2nd, a state-wide event was held in Birmingham for 8th, 9th and
10th grade students and their parents to address the major issues of
workforce development and parental involvement in student education.
After a welcome session with state and local elected officials,
students explored a variety of career opportunities, learning from
volunteers representing career options. Parents and/or adult chaperones
also chose from a variety of breakout sessions addressing how to help
students succeed in school, prepare for college or the workplace, as well
as a number of other issues from personal financial self-reliance to finding
resources to fund post-secondary education.
Event partners included AT&T, AT&T Foundation, AT&T Pioneers, Junior
Achievement of Greater Birmingham, Mattie C. Stewart Foundation, and
the City of Birmingham.
