Students at James Monroe High School celebrated Military Family Appreciation month throughout November. Staff members of the JROTC Maverick Battalion planned several activities to help show appreciation to both military members and their families. Cadet Sergeant First Class Eli Thomas created a presentation that aired for students and visitors to view. Cadet Captain Jacob Profitt recorded a message of appreciation on WHFI 106.7. Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Ayla Cameron & Cadet Captain Chad Sizemore, both of whom have already enlisted with the United States Armed Forces, thanked military personnel of current students and their families during the morning announcements. Cadets Owen Sturdivant and Cheyenne Collins designed a bulletin board. To demonstrate appreciation to the James Monroe families of active-duty service members, students and staff donated to gift baskets that were presented by Cadet Captain Celine Mullins. Staff writers Alexis Sevy and Ava Moore represented the sentiment of the Maverick family through these words written for The Maverick Express (maverickexpress.org) “We ask much of our military personnel, but the family members who follow them around the world are often forgotten. We appreciate you!”
