Annual Transition Day was held this year reaching to the 8^th grade students versus 11^th for past activity.  325 students were in attendance and the day was a huge success.  Al Etheredge of Region 9 Workforce Development, Turner Sims of Alabama Dept. of Youth Services, and Honorable George Elbrecht spoke to the students on topics ranging from Attitude is Everything to Being too Good for Drugs.  The students also watched a video titled The Choice, highlighting the results of choosing to dropout of school by citizens of Alabama.  Southern Expose sang and was enjoyed by all. Door prizes were given out to many of the students and lunch was served at Southern Networks.  It was great event, that was well received by all the students.
