Each summer for the past five years, the Akron Public Schools Junior ROTC program generously contributes its cadets to present colors at regular meetings of the Akron School Board. Over the past several years, Garfield's Navy Jr. ROTC cadets devoted every other Monday in the summer to the program. Last night's board meeting saw Jr. cadets from the Navy ROTC program at Ellet High school, newly under the direction of Col. Lionel Uquhart, USMC (Ret.), instructor.
The cadets took a moment so we could take their photo after they were done. They are, left to right:

Akron Public Schools and the Akron School Board thank them for their service and for their work during their summer break.
