Grafton Job Corps Center

THE GRAFTON CHRONICLE
Training Tomorrow’s Workforce, Today
January 30, 2015
Grafton shovels out...
As everyone knows, the area was hit
with a huge snow storm Monday afternoon into Wednesday morning. Approximately 2.5—3 feet of snow
dropped on the center. Staff and students were out in full force shoveling it
off the walkways and snowplows were
pushing it off the roads.
For two days the town schools were
closed so Grafton Job Corps also had
non-training days as well. During those
days the female students found plenty
of things to do such as arts and crafts,
games, nail painting and of course,
dancing it up in the female dorm
common area.

Every student has an opportunity for growth and development here at Grafton to go to
Advanced
Training. Some
students come in as silent
leaders and others are more
vocal about their goals. Many
students overcome challenges
It is a bitter sweet moment
when our student transition
into Advanced Training. Every staff on center has been a
part of their journey, helping
them in one way or another.
Being witness and watching
them grow and develop has
brought pride for everyone
involved. We are so proud of
these students. We cannot wait to hear about all of
their future accomplishments
and success stories.

SGA Commemorates MLK Day
Thursday afternoon assembly saw SGA
partner with several students giving
them

The event turned
out great as students were
reminded of the morale, education and conviction that
brought
forth
the
end
of
atrocities towards the human
rights movement in America.
The message resonated well
with students and
hope,

determination,
self-
identification and appreciation of the true meaning of
equality and the strength to
overcome differences experienced in their lives.
