Recently Coffee County Middle School welcomed John Fletcher from the Chamber kick off “Work Day Wednesdays!” Work Day Wednesdays gives area businesses and community leaders the opportunity to send a representative to welcome students to school. “This is a great opportunity for our business and community leaders to join us through the CEO Program.
This program allows us to focus on simple life skills that will, in turn, help our students become workforce ready and better prepared in their everyday life,” said Taylor Rayfield, Family Resource Coordinator. In addition, the representative is in a short video highlighting the importance of attendance, careers, and education. Freda Kay Jones, representing the Coffee County School Board, headlined the inaugural video segment by joining with state officials in recognizing September as Attendance Awareness Month and stressing the importance of being at school every day.
Kim Aaron, principal of CCMS, “Appreciates the community’s support and is excited about the partnership.” If you are interested in being part of Work Day Wednesdays, please contact John Fletcher at the Chamber (931-728-7635) or Kim Aaron at Coffee County Middle School (931-723-5177).
