HURRICANE IRMA

JROTC is a stellar program that sets the tone for the school. Annually, this program serves over
250 cadets per year. Though the damages sustained in this area are cosmetic; losing the covering
over the porch is negative towards its use. Cadets use the area for shading after conducting an
activity in the sun. They use the area for studying; and more importantly, for battalion
training and small competitions even if it is “pushups”. This area is a sanctuary for the cadets to
include them having lunch and have certainly made a difference for the days when there were
no covering. Cadets feel safe and consider it a place to call home.

Extra special thank you go out to the following stakeholders:

1) Ivanna Eudora Kean Administrators—especially Lt. Colonel Sally F. Petty
2) Ivanna Eudora Kean Faculty, Staff , Students —especially JROTC Cadets, and Parents;
3) Ivanna Eudora Kean Alumni of various Classes;
4) Red Hook Community;

5) Rotary East — spearheaded by Tim Hall; American Yacht Harbor, Auven Therapeutics, and
Westin Resort in St. John;
6) Several units of the local V.I. National Guard, a unit from Puerto Rico and units combined
from the mainland; and
7) Department of Education.

No matter the contribution, there were strong bonds formed. Our Virgin Islands Community came
together for one common goal. We achieved it! Go RAYS!
