Just a reminder of the Emergency Services Camp Out the 23rd and 24th.   Each of the cadets has an equipment list to bring.  Please make sure that the cadets also bring a flash light.  Call if any questions.

Numerous cadets are wearing their Air Force shirts on Thursday, but wearing their school uniform blue pants.  This is not acceptable.  I know of some uniform issues that should be corrected by mid week.  However, many of the excuses are that my Mom will not let me wear the Air Force pants, or they are at grandma's for hemming, etc.  There will be no further excuses on uniform violations.  All cadets MUST wear proper and full uniforms including their belts, hats and all required pins and devices.  If a cadet loses a uniform item they are responsible for replacing that item on their own and not asking CAP or APA staff to do so for them.  They will be held responsible for such until the item is replaced.  I would suggest the items be obtained thru www.thehock.com .  You can also get shoes from Sears online store including the Air Force style Bates shoes.  I have been told they are about $26.00.  Any questions, let me know.  Thanks. 

Dear friends,

 

I want my students to have as many great learning opportunities as possible, but sometimes I just can't get the funding I need. To address this issue, I turned to DonorsChoose.org.

 

Here's the scoop.  At this nonprofit website, public school teachers (like me!) submit projects for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become a reality when concerned individuals (like you!) choose projects to fund. Donors who complete project funding or give more than $100 receive photos and personal thank-you notes from the students they helped.  It's easy - and very rewarding.

 

The great news is that my project, Let There Be Light!, is now posted at DonorsChoose.org! Check it out at:

http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=304077&utm_source=teachers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TeacherMarketing

 

Take a look. Also, please consider supporting me and my students by forwarding this message to others who may be interested in improving education.

 

Best regards,

Jill Barker

I need brown paper bags (grocery bags will work) for an upcoming art project with the 6th grade students. If you have any paper bags you can bring, please do. I need a LOT of them, so please bring them in. Thanks!

On 23 and 24 October there will be an Emergency Services Camp Out here at the Academy for selected 9th grade cadets.  This training will be geared to preparing members of the Academy to fulfill another of the CAP missions under the search and rescue mission within the Emergency Services area.   Training will include trauma first aid, hazardous material, ground navigation and map reading, camp preparation and ELT search training.  In addition the cadets will be given responsibility for camp management and cooking with a little bit of fun as well.

 

A meeting with the cadets will take place on Tuesday, 13 Oct at 1500 hrs to hand out permission slips, give them equipment needs and an overall briefing on the activity.  Please let us know immediately if your cadet can not attend once the invitation has been extended.
