On Nov. 4, Holley-Navarre Elks Lodge #2787, represented by Exalted Ruler, Allen VanDyk, presented a $300 check to members of the Military Family Life Counseling Program committee – teachers Tracy Fischetti, Karen Cody and Carmen Febus – at Navarre High School. The program supports service members, families and survivors with nonmedical counseling worldwide. The check was to help Navarre High School’s Military Student Support (MSS) host their inaugural military appreciation night Nov. 12 in the school cafeteria. There are 488 students at the high school who are military dependents. One of the purposes of this night was to make the active-duty members and students aware of the specific counseling support available to military families as well as to inform them that even though they live off base in Navarre, they have all the opportunities to attend and utilize on-base activities such as the youth center which received a favorable response from the military children. Parents were further introduced to tutor.com for military families which allows dependents of active-duty members access to online tutoring. Overall, this was an opportunity for active-duty military families with students at Navarre High School to hear about the many opportunities that could help make their time as a Navarre Raider a great success.
