A big thanks to Whitney Green and Egypt Miller for nominating Pike High School. I forgot to give you a shot out on air - so here's your claim to fame! :)
I took your advice and featured Pike's ROTC program, Business Professionals of America and Key Club. The ROTC was very visual and cool. One student tried her hardest to teach me how to throw a rifle, er, how to SPIN a rifle. I was awful! The rifles are heavier than I expected and was sure I'd lose a toe if I dropped it. I did get a chance to sit back and watch a few of the drill routines the students were practicing. The formations and precision of the groups were amazing!
The Business Professionals of America or BPA is a "co-curricular" organization designed for students pursuing careers in business management, office administration, information technology and other related career fields. It's Pike's largest club with over 180 students! The students learn interviewing skills, PC repair, and marketing presentations…not to mention participate in business related competitions. Lots goin' on there!
The Key Club was busy at work when I visited them. They just started a drive called "Pennies for Patients" to raise money to help cure leukemia and other blood-related cancers. (Benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.) They students dropped boxes off in each classroom in hopes that people would donate their loose change, so don't forget to drop those quarters in!!!!
GO RED DEVILS - HOLLA! (As Ms. Chisley says...)
