Seniors: Important Dates
Interlachen Junior-Senior High School JROTC Cadets Pay Respect to Robert Jenkins Jr (Medal of Honor Recipient) at Sister Springs Cemetery on 13 April 2024: As family and friends of United States Marine PFC Robert Jenkins, Vietnam Medal of Honor Recipient look on, the Interlachen JROTC Cadets spent their Saturday on April 13, 2024 conducting much needed maintenance at Sister Springs Cemetery in Interlachen, Florida. Interlachen native and national hero, PFC Robert Jenkins, sacrificed his life in a heroic action on March 5, 1969 while serving on a reconnaissance mission in Vietnam. For his actions, PFC Jenkins received the Congressional Medal of Honor and was buried in his hometown cemetery. Interlachen JROTC Cadets spent the day leveling headstones, landscaping the cemetery, replacing American Flags and honoring all military veterans and their families buried in the cemetery. The JROTC Cadet Battalion Commander, C/LTC Michael Taylor said, "These are the things I will miss most when I graduate this year; being able to serve our community and honor our military veterans has been very rewarding the last four years." The day ended with all the cadets honoring PFC Robert Jenkins by replacing the United States flags at his gravesite, reading his Medal of Honor citation, and meeting family members and members from his reconnaissance platoon from Vietnam. We couldn't be more proud of these students! ***Pictured are Interlachen Junior Senior High School Cadets from 8th grade to their senior year in high school.

What a wonderful time we had meeting our next year's Rams at the Rising Ram Rally! (If you forgot to send your sellfies last night, please send them to tthornton@my.putnamschools.org, and we will add them to this post!) Upon arriving last night, students received a ticket for door prizes and a passport to get stamped/signed at any 6 of the many booths set up in the gym. Families then traveled to the booths learning about Apptegy/Rooms and checked their personal accounts, learned about the electives and clubs we offer at IJSHS, received information about community resources, and much more! The completed passport enabled them to receive a free grilled hotdog (thanks to Kiwanas Club) and a discounted treat from Interlachen Nutrition. Kona Ice was available outside along with the selfie station set up by Sign Gypsies that said, "Rams on the Rise 2024". Sepcial thanks also to the following local businesses who also made last night successful by donating to our door prizes for students: True Grits who donated gift certificates, Galactik Nutrition who donated gift cards, Kona Ice of Hawthorne who donated Kona cups and gift certificates, IJSHS Cheer Department and IJSHS Athletics who donated all sorts of Ram merchandise including t-shirts, koozies, mini gym bags, clappers, water bottles and more! The students were thrilled to receive these items, and we cannot thank you enough for being a local business partner with us! We hope everyone will frequent these amazing businesses who not only provide a service to our little town but also generously support the youth at our school! THANK YOU!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This year we invite all students from 3rd to 12th grade to participate in our poster contest. There will be awards for winners in both the elementary and secondary age groups. Our theme this year is Mental Resiliency – “Show us How You Bounce Back from Stress.” All posters must be completed and turned in to your guidance counselor by April 30th, 2024, and awards will be given to our winners in May. We would love to see as many posters as possible this year, so get your art supplies out and show us how you “Bounce Back.” We are also asking that everyone wear green on each Monday in May, to show our support for Mental Health Awareness. The only way we can stop the stigma is to work together! #ProudtobePCSD
