To celebrate this momentous occasion, the entire community came together with some special guests from the Air Force's 52nd Fighter Wing, Europe District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the host nation of Germany.

AMENDMENT XIV

Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.
Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.
I attended Woodbridge JHS in 1961 -62. I'm on a quest to find my homeroom teacher from then. 7th grade. Miss Kono, from Hawaii. She was in her early 20's at the time. Please let me know if you know her or how to contact her....Cheers
Will you hold any more information events like the one today? While I appreciate the efforts to get everyone ready for the coming school year I feel like this mornings event was more for the ones wanting to know more about and electing the virtual learning option. There was little to no information for those electing to send our kids physically back to school. How can we find out more about what to expect, how we can help, and what's being done at our physical schools?
I'd just like to congratulate my cousin, Colleen English, who is leaving her teaching job at Spangdahlem Elementary and will be starting her new job as assistant principal at Lakenheath Elementary. Good luck!!
The families of the Senior Class at Lejeune High School are NOT happy about the graduation for our small class of graduates. Dodea Mid-Atlantic District and Dodea Lejeune High School we have repeatedly told you how we felt with NO communication between administration and the parents. We are being told how things will be handled even though the command has repeatedly informed you that they can accommodate a different graduation ceremony OTHER than the approach you are taking. We had NO say in this and as we emerge into phase 2, our ideas are legitimately feasible. I feel so sad regarding the lack of cohesive communication between administration and the students!!! NOT ONCE has administration worked with us this year on ANYTHING...as a DoDDS kid myself growing up and coming from a very supportive school overseas for my kids (Naples Middle High School), I am absolutely flabbergasted on how LHS has supported it's families. This graduation is like the cherry on the cake. Unbelievable.
We the parents of the C/O 2020 for Lejeune High School in the Mid-Atlantic district are wanting to know why there was a conference call set up for tomorrow to discuss possible plans of a modified graduation if you all were never going to go through with listening to us. We know that tomorrow we will be in Phase 2, granting there to be groups of 25 and therefore we could have 3-4 staggered groups of Seniors to have a traditional graduation. There are schools that have 10 times the amount of graduated that we have, who have put forth great efforts to make sure their kids have a real graduation. There was nothing but deception put forth from the beginning when we were told that the virtual graduation was a “back up” plan. You knew your intentions the whole time. To say that we are upset for being misled is a understatement. You agreed to try to come to a happy medium and you never had any intention of doing so.
The College Board is giving exams such as the AP exams that will require military children in Asia to take the exams at 3am and 5am. The College Board has not answered any of these concerns on their website, page or FAQ.

What steps has DoDEA taken to contact the College Board to advocate on behalf of military children?

Thank goodness over my rare teaching positions for 32 years I never had to deal with something so horrendous as this. Theses are unprecidented times. I applaud all teachers serving overseas for our military families. I felt I was asked above and beyond but these are life saving procedures. They can't even come home and are trapped by a virus. God Bless them all. Listen to Tom Brady's speech to a reporter.
It’s Friday! Great week of virtual school. Big thanks to Pam Borgert best teacher in DODEA! We took a lunch break, went to Annie’s favorite, Taco Bell ( gross) and had a “Nannie and Annie” manicure! Came home, Annie knocking out the last of the weeks school work, then 45 minutes of reading! Let the weekend begin!
Together we can keep everyone healthy!
When will selections be made for next year's positions?
