32 JROTC students32 JROTC students from @chipubschools were recently selected from an essay contest to have a VIP experience with the @usnavyblueangels demonstration team at Gary Jet Center and front-row seats to the Chicago Air and Water Show!

The students were asked about how @chipubschools CPS JROTC is impacting their post-secondary education. They nominated two teachers to ride in an F/A-18 fighter jet and Fat Albert.

The community outreach engagement was organized by Navy Community Ambassador Michael Ziener, a Chicago native and Navy Veteran.

Congratulations to these students and their teachers!

 

The Chicago Air and Water Show presented by the City of Chicago is the largest FREE show of its kind in the United States. The show can be viewed along the lakefront from Fullerton to Oak Street, with North Avenue Beach as the focal point.
