Yesterday, Shades Valley High School MCJROTC cadets spent the morning at Kermit Johnson Elementary School, greeting students and encouraging them to stay drug-free in recognition of Red Ribbon Week. We love seeing the difference our cadets are making throughout the district! Keep up the great work.

This morning, students, community leaders, and JEFCOED Superintendent Dr. Walter Gonsoulin gathered at Shades Valley High School to remember the lives changed forever on September 11, 2001.
The annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony, presented by the Shades Valley MCJROTC, brought together JROTC students from Shades Valley, Pinson Valley, and Clay-Chalkville high schools for a heartfelt and touching ceremony. Through the presentation of the colors, moving speeches, and the laying of flowers, they honored the heroes of 9/11 and those who continue to serve our nation.
