    While testing out a look-alike dummy rocket-launcher, sophomore and ROTC Color Guard Commander Richie Pepe got to try out and learn about a lot of the equipment used in the military. "My favorite part of the Military Expo this year would probably be the National Guard. They had a lot of awesome things like the anti-air truck and the dummy rocket launcher," Richie said. "Out of all the things I saw at the expo, the thing that interested me the most would be the National Guard. I think it's really cool that you can enlist and get the same training as you would if you were to join the army, but only have to go to the nearest base once a month for drilling and training, all while getting paid for it."

Cha Cha Sliding Through the Academy of Finance Banquet

The Academy of Finance held their senior banquet on May 1st at the Debary Golf and Country Club for a final celebration. After a few years, the Academy broke away from the S.T.E.M Academy and stopped sharing a banquet with them in the cafeteria.

“It was nice to be somewhere real fancy because it just made us feel like we are in a financial situation where we can do that,” senior Carl Mohr said.

As people were finishing dinner, Academy Director Mrs. Flowers and Prior Academy Director Mr. Roeshink prepared their speeches to their graduating students. Nobody in the banquet hall had a dry eye as the teachers said their thank you’s to the students and parents.

“The best part was when Mrs. Flowers was giving her speech to all of us,” senior Anthony Pearsall said. “I’ve had her for most of the academy years and I knew her the best so it was more sentimental.”

More tears were shed when Launch announced the winners of their $500 scholarship. This year Launch awarded three scholarships rather than the two they normally give away. The scholarship was given to two student interns at the bank on campus and one student in the academy. Senior Allyson Murdock, senior Sabrina Gutierrez, and senior Lizbeth Alverez Marrero were awarded the scholarship from their well written essays.

“I was surprised when I got the scholarship and I cried,” Marrero said. “My mom wasn’t expecting that and she was really proud of me and my sister thought the money was for her.”

With high spirits from receiving awards and scholarships, Academy students joined Mrs. Flowers in a conga line to the dance floor. The dance floor was full of students for some of Mr. Roeshink’s song choices, but towards the end, the students decided the carpet surrounding the dance floor was the place to be. Special guests joined students on the dance floor as Roeshink played his re-edition of the Cha Cha Slide.

“We did the Cotton Eye Joe and watching all these girls in heels clicking their feet was the funniest thing ever,” Murdock said. “Macie who is Jessica’s daughter was there dancing also and it was so much fun.”

The night celebration came to an end as the seniors took group pictures with each other and with Flowers and Roeshink. Hugs and tears were shared as the moment dawned on them that this was their last celebration with their academy and they were graduating in a month.

“My favorite part was being together and having a celebration about making it through these four years together,” senior Kayla Hartmann said.

The academy students grew close as they shared many memories from their four years of classes together and that night they celebrated. The banquet brought the Academy students together to make final memories to take with them as they follow their career into college.

  •  I took it to heart when I heard they were getting rid of recycling in Deltona senior Cindy Lopez said I understand trash is a big problem just in general for this planet and especially recyclables where we could be reusing these items I know there is a new legislation going on in congress right now talking about a Green New Deal where we have a resolution The Green New Deal is a great concept because it is just as useful as the New Deal FDR put out during the Great Depression it is going to regrow our middle class in many ways People are going to be able to get jobs and people will be able to set up solar panels which all would make our planet healthier I was sad that recycling is going to be gone but I am hopeful that with this New Deal we are in the future going to build an infrastructure for our own recycling MyCommunityMonday SJW2019
