Blood Drive!! :)

Our annual JROTC blood drive is coming up on February 13, 2013 and we're working with the Red Cross this year!! Everyone who is 16 years or older is welcomed to come and donate blood! By donating 1 pint of blood you can save a life! Needles can be very scary and believe me I know but don't you want to be able to say you were able to save a life just by donating blood!
Come and support the JROTC program! Not only will you receive a free shirt but there will be FREE food! :)
Come donate and save a life!!

Finals!!

Finals have started here at Monroe H.S. and everyone is ready for them to be over already! For seniors this is our last horah and I know that although testing has just started we are more than ready to get it over with! Once these finals are over we will be one step closer to freedom! Lol
Leaving high school will be a bitter sweet moment for me due to the fact that I have gotten so involved in JROTC but I will also be happy to be starting a new chapter in my life.
Graduation here we come!! :)

16 years All-City Champs!!

The Viking Battalion did it again!
I am proud to say that I am a part of the 16 years All-City champs at James Monroe High School in the Viking Battalion! I am the 16th Battalion Commander to keep the British United Service Club (BUSC) shield here at JMHS! It was something my team and myself worked very hard to accomplish. We stuck through all the long hours of practice for a reason and that reason was to win for the 16th time. It was a difficult process but we accomplished it just as the past years teams accomplished it. I had my friends stand by my side the day of the competition and the day the results were read and I cannot be more thankful to them. I am proud of my battalion and every single person who competed that stressful day.
Seniors we did it!! Class of 2013!
