NOVEMBER IS UPON US!!! Do you remember back in August when we were all coming to campus eager to start our educational journey? Where did the time go? What an amazing semester so far!

November is a busy month and we have so much to be thankful for! At Marion Tech and the Connections Center we are here to help, with Thanksgiving only a few weeks away! If you need assistance, stop by and talk with us. For Thanksgiving, we will be working on Feast Boxes. Beginning in 2020, we have provided feast boxes to our students in need. These boxes are packed with food to ensure that they can enjoy a home cooked meal with their families as we all give thanks with ours. In 2022, we provided 50 families with boxes to take home the week of thanksgiving. If you are a student in need and would like a feast box, please sign up using the link FEAST BOX
