Spring is here and in Corbin it is again time for one of the seasonâs most traditional events: the GFWC Kentucky Ossoli Clubâs May Day Festival.
This yearâs 78th May Day Festival will, again, like last year, be a virtual event.
The May Day Festival is a fund raising event for the Ossoli Club. All proceeds are used to fund community service projects, and a portion each year is donated to the school classes participating in the program. Even though May Day was a virtual event last year and the school classes werenât able to participate, the Ossoli Club was still able to donate funds to the classes. Through the years, monetary votes for the young ladies competing for May Day Queen and May Day Tiny Queen have enabled the Ossoli Club to fund or contribute to community organizations, projects, and events. Examples include: Corbin School systemâs theater programs, the Carnegie Center, Corbin Cares, Corbin School systemâs Family Resource Centers,

Corbin Independent Schools is offering a new way for students and adults to get their high school diploma.
“[The Corbin] Re-engagement Center is designed to be a flexible and personalized learning place that is open to bring students back and get them on the right path,” said Madison Farmer, the coordinator for the re-engagement center.
The program is intended for adults or students who may be on the verge of dropping out, need to get back in school for a high school diploma, or who need a more flexible and individualized schedule.
The center can work with anyone to help them achieve a high school diploma, said Farmer.
