Have You Read the Centennial Times?

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.
