Students at several of our schools signed the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence for yesterday's Day of National Concern.

Since 1996, over 10 million students have signed the pledge, sending an important message: gun violence is neither inevitable nor a force against which young people are powerless.

Lunchtime was extra fun today thanks to our friends from Aramark Food Services! They surprised our students with chef hats and stickers — turning our cafeteria into a mini cooking crew! 🎉 The students had a blast serving up smiles and showing off their chef style.

The smiles and laughter made lunch a little brighter — thank you, Aramark, for helping make healthy eating fun! 🧑‍🍳💛🖤

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!
