Cadet Spotlight | This past

summer, the Tawani Foundation

sponsored 12 cadets from 11 different

academies and JROTC programs to

partake in this year’s educational trip -

“Storm the Beaches.” All cadets are

encouraged to apply regardless of their

financial situation. Thanks to the

generous support of the foundation,

cadets chosen to attend benefitted (free

of charge) from airfare, travel in coach

buses, accommodations in fine hotels,

train travel, and dinners at local restau-

rants which boasted the best

regional dining.

Over a span of 8 days, cadets toured

London, Normandy, and Paris and

visited sites such as the Marble Arch,

Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar

Square, Whitehall, House of

Parliament, Tower of London,

Westminster Abbey, Cabinet War

Room, Churchill Museum, Arundel

Castle, Caen Memorial Museum for

Peace, the Louvre and World War II

sites such as the scene of the Allied

Forces’ landing on D-Day, Omaha

Beach, Pointe de Hoc, and the

American Cemetery.

This year’s cohort was led by LTC

David Schoenfeld (CMA-B) and Maj.

Steven Green from the JROTC

Department.

Welcome | The Service Leadership Programs

would like to welcome the Class of 2019! We

wish the best to the 803 freshmen across our

academies and the 143 7th graders at Marine

Leadership Academy who are all beginning their

journey of becoming the leaders of tomorrow!

The Network Office would like to welcome Ms.

Erin Galfer, the new Principal at Marine

Leadership Academy. Under her guidance and

leadership, we look forward to seeing MLA

continue to grow and increase its presence as an

anchor in the community. At Air Force Academy

we welcome Chief Raymond Smith as the

Interim Commandant. Dr. Valencia Barnes, Ms.

Vickie Durrah, and Mr. Jeff Myzczek have

returned to the Network as Assistant Principals.

We wish you all continued success. We also

welcome our new Resident Principals, Mr. Israel

Perez (Rickover Naval Academy) and Ms. Jada

Mims (Air Force Academy). We welcome all the

new leadership into our family and know that we

are excited to see the daily impact you make on

the lives of our cadets.

The JROTC Department welcomes their new

instructors: SFC Narvaez (Phoenix Military

Academy), MSGT Allen (Phillips HS),

MGYSGT Slaughter (Marine Leadership Acade-

my), and MSGT Barlow (Taft HS). Our desire is

to ensure you feel supported and equipped with

tools necessary to mold our cadets into leaders.

Leadership Opportunity | Registration for We Day 2016 is now open! What is

We Day? An annual series of stadium-sized events, We Day brings together

world-renowned speakers and performers—from Malala Yousafzai and Martin Sheen to

Demi Lovato—with tens of thousands of youth to kick-start a year of action through We

Act. You can’t buy a ticket to We Day—you earn it by taking on one local and one

global action.

More than a one-day event, We Day is connected to the year-long We Act program, which offers educational resources and campaigns

to help young people turn the day’s inspiration into sustained action. We Day and We Act are cause inclusive, empowering young

people to find their passion and create the change they want to see. By taking action on one local and one global cause, students are

equipped with the tools to succeed academically, in the workplace and as active citizens. Together, We Day and We Act are a blueprint

for helping the next generation of global citizens.

Last year’s participating schools included Rickover Naval Academy and Marine Leadership Academy. Please visit www.we.org for

more information and for details on how to register your cadets for this great global service opportunity.

Save the Date | This fall’s Principal for a Day event will

take place on Tuesday, October 27. The Principal for a Day

initiative is an opportunity for the Network and the

academies to showcase the cadets, staff, and leadership

initiatives in and out of the schools to community

stakeholders. This past spring, we had 16 leaders across

diverse industries participate in the event. All were

impressed by the leadership and confidence of our cadets.

Our goal is to expose our academies to leaders in the

community who can serve as advocates and champions for

our schools. We need to ensure people know about the

great leadership development happening in our academies

and how that benefits our communities.

Congratulations | The Golden Bugle would like to congratulate

Ms. Carol Moran, teacher at Chicago Military Academy at Bronzeville

for winning the “Guest Contributor of the Year” award! Ms. Moran

consistently submitted materials to the Golden Bugle and kept our

Service Leadership Programs Community abreast of the great things

her cadets were doing in and out of the classroom. We appreciate the

dedication she demonstrates towards highlighting cadets at her

academy. We look forward to another year of fruitful submissions.

If your cadets are doing great things in or out of the classroom, we

encourage you to submit a small write-up to highlight their

accomplishments. They can be personal or JROTC related; we know

our cadets are well-rounded. Let’s highlight them in all their

accomplishments. Submission Link: www.cps.edu/theGoldenBugle
