SouthFresh Feeds and Demopolis High School have formed the first partnership in Marengo County for the Adopt-A-School (AAS) program.

This partnership will establish a co-op program to recruit students during the school year and offer jobs during the summer. SouthFresh will support the DHS Environmental Science class with hydroponic projects, provide mentoring, offer field trips and more projects.

This partnership is an example of the Pillars of Education initiative where the aim is to promote literacy and character development in the the West Alabama region. AAS is a strong advocate of Pillars of Education initiative which encourages all AAS partners to push students to take advantage of opportunities to foster character development.

Additional educators will address needs and support their efforts in and out of the classroom. This will allow them to gain an increase in literary skills and capitalize on their abilities to discover a career path of their choosing.
