MHS AF Junior ROTC

In preparation for the Military Ball, the Cadets have been learning about Social Etiquette. They have learned about social introductions in a formal setting, personal introductions, the receiving line and how to shake hands, manners and courtesies, proper use of napkins, a formal dining setting and proper use of silverware. They will put all of this to good use this weekend.

Today was a great day, Cadets participated in Wreaths Across America at the Mound City National Cemetery. Two Cadets were asked to represent the US Navy and Space Force and placed the ceremonial wreaths at the beginning of the program. Cadet’s enjoyed themselves and what a great opportunity to serve our community. One Cadet accompanied by her mother was able to place a wreath on the grave of her grandfather.

Cadets were presented with a last minute, volunteer opportunity to help put together 60 Thanksgiving Boxes for families in our local area. The Visionaries for this event are Matt Warner, Brittani Warner, Zach Palmer and Darcy Palmer. They reached out to local, roofing companies with their vision and acquired the needed resources to make this a great holiday for the recipients.

Cadets witnessed what can be accomplished by Teamwork and Communication. In my A Team, Hannibal voice “I love it when a plan comes together”. Cadets, if you do not get the inference, please ask your parent/guardian.
