Are you interested in learning to fly a plane, engineering, science, leadership, or community service? Civil Air Patrol is a voluntary auxiliary branch of the Air Force and offers these opportunities to students 12-18 years old. Milwaukee Composite Squadron 5 is located at the National Guard Armory next to the Oak Creek Community Center and 9th Grade Center. This summer they visited the 128th Air Force Refueling Wing facilities at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee where they met the F-22 Demo Team from the Milwaukee Air Show and got to explore the plane. A few of our many annual events include iFly (indoor skydiving), a SeaPerch Competition (underwater remote-operated vehicles), Summer Encampment at Volk Airforce Base, and greeting veterans after their Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. Please join us this Thursday night, September 11th for our Annual Open House at the National Guard Armory on Howell Avenue in Oak Creek from 6:30 to 8 pm. Bring your family to learn more and relax with presentation led by our cadets and snacks. We will be starting a new group of cadets in training starting Sept 18th, so bring a friend and check us out!

Jerstad Agerholm's RUSD Extended Learning Basketball & Life Skills Camp travelled to Starbuck yesterday for a scrimmage. Both teams played very well, with lots of hustle and teamwork! Jerstad-Agerholm won 62-56, but it was neck and neck for most of the game! 🏀
These teams will meet up again next Tuesday to play at Jerstad-Agerholm for their final scrimmage of the summer. #YouBelongHere
