Congratulations to the more than 300 JROTC Cadets that represented 12 schools in Brevard and beyond in the recent JROTC Raider Challenge Meet #1 at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC) and Park! Despite the heat and stifling humidity, these young men and women demonstrated outstanding teamwork, cooperation, and incredible fortitude in 2026's first Raider Challenge Meet. The JROTC Raider Challenge Meet #2 is slated for October 31, also at the BVMC, and, after a third Meet in mid-November, the State Championships will take place on December 12. Stay tuned!

Recently, I was pleased to attend You Matter Day at Merritt Island High School. The event, which was a resounding success, is intended to raise awareness about mental health issues and su***de prevention, especially among the youth in our community. The day was focused on ensuring that mental health resources are available, as well as what to do in the event an individual is in need of help.

You Matter Day featured music, food trucks, games, a car show, performances, and more! It was extremely gratifying to witness all the schools and nonprofit organizations joining together to raise awareness for and provide education about this issue.

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the event, “Grilling for Heroes,” at One Senior Place - Brevard/Space Coast, Florida in Viera. This day of appreciation was designed to extend gratitude and sincere thanks to our first responders, nurses, and educators, both past and present. The event, which was completely free for attendees, featured amazing food, children’s activities, cooling stations, and numerous vendors. It was truly a successful event for an admirable cause! Thank you!

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Florida (Official) July 4 parade never disappoints, and this year’s event was no exception! The excitement and feeling of patriotism surrounding America’s 250th Birthday was palpable! Parade attendees packed Courtenay Parkway from Merritt Island High School all the way to Merritt Avenue, where the parade culminated at Edgewood Junior/Senior High School. Participants from the business community, civic organizations, and of course BCSO, had apparently received a memo instructing them to outdo each other, as each float was decorated in incredibly patriotic fashion!

Immediately following the parade, the crowd gathered at the Amphitheatre at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center and Park for more activities, including a ceremony, food trucks, and displays.

We're already looking forward to 2027!
