BMF Students had a fun day of learning outside the classroom, yesterday! First stop, the students visited the Alliance where Karen Isbell & Alliance President, GT McCullough shared an overview of the Alliance and the importance it has for businesses, industries, and the community of Corinth.

Talk about coming full circle - I watched Destiny blossom into this amazing teacher. I am so very proud of her and count it a blessing having been apart in her life’s journey. I loved every minute of my visit with Destiny and her students." -Nan Nethery, Ed Prep Instructor
