The Nimitz Middle School Junior Cadets received some words of encouragement from First Lady Dr. Jill Biden Wednesday.
During a virtual ceremony, the Nimitz Student 2 Student program was named one of the top 3 teams in the world by the Military Child Education Coalition.
“Thank you for working so hard to meet every students’ needs,” said Dr. Biden. “You make life a little bit easier for our military-connected students and their families.”
The Student 2 Student program helps students from military families get connected when they move to a new school.
Dr. Biden ended her conversation with the students by telling them, “I know that your future is bright, and I can’t wait to hear about the wonderful things you will do this year.”
Student 2 Student Sponsor Commander Robert Gonzalez is retired Navy. He could not be prouder of his team and all they accomplished last year.
“This is worldwide, and we competed against a lot of schools, and this was our first year doing this program,” said Gonzalez. “These kids are superstars.”
