Navy Junior ROTC shows what it’s got

The Quil Ceda Battalion of the Marysville School District Navy Junior ROTC program held its Evening Parade on Nov. 16 at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School gym. In all, 150 cadets from seven different high schools participated.

Cadets were accompanied by the school band as they demonstrated chain of command, precision and attention to detail. Drill teams performed as the community looked on, including dignitaries Mayor Jon Nehring and Marysville World War II veteran Art Unruh.

The reviewing officer was Cmdr. Derek Dwyer, commanding officer of the Navy Operational Support Command at Naval Station Everett. Inspections were by Capt. Dan Wenceslao, area manager of Navy Junior ROTC Area 13, who gave 29 cadets a score of a perfect 10 on appearance and knowledge.

Overall, the battalion earned a Bravo Zulu streamer in recognition of their dedication and commitment. It also received a patriotism award from Alan Mandigo on behalf of the Military Order of the World Wars.

Computer science teen serves at Model UN

Ash is in her junior year at Sky Valley Education Center and takes classes at Cascadia Community College through Running Start. She has participated in the last few Model UN programs through SVEC.
