Mokapu Elementary is located on Kaneohe Bay MCAS. Almost all of the students come from military families living on base and surrounding areas.
It ain't easy for the students to handle a move every three years. 5th grade social studies teacher Adrianne Vincent said that some of her students at age 10 are already on their third rotation.
It ain't easy for the students to handle the deployments. Adrianne said they start acting up in class before & after the parent deploys. And again before & after their return.
It sure ain't easy to teach a JA class here but Rick Rohr, financial advisor at FIRST COMMAND FINANCIAL PLANNING and Jenna Sanders, 2nd year JA volunteer, are taking on the challenge and teaching the 5th grade program, "Our Nation" this fall.
We commend you both for your commitment to the students!
