It s teachers and students, they compete with each other, they play with each other for bronze, silver and gold, just like the Olympics, said Frank Ordoñez, teacher and coordinator for Get Fit, Be Strong. Soldiers assigned to the U.S. Army Joint Modernization Command acted as judges during the competition. We re giving back a little time to help the students out and motivate them - kind of build esprit de corps amongst the students and teachers and staff here, said Capt. Lynn Jones, who volunteers every Wednesday. I think it s a good idea to do because it exposes the local population to what the military does. The program is geared toward military students and is an Army Youth Programs in Your Neighborhood program. About 210 students meet after school each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. What we do in this program is work on body, mind and soul, Ordoñez said. We start our program with about 45 minutes of tutoring, helping out with homework classwork, whatever they need. Then we bring them into the gym or out on the blacktop, do some exercises, do stretches and laps and then do workouts with resistance bands, weights, kettlebells then we play two different sports. Games during the Indoor Olympics ranged from basketball to giant chess to bowling. Many of the Soldiers volunteer regularly with the program at Nolan Richardson as part of the Partners in Education program. It can be pretty stressful at work so this is kind of relaxing. I come here, have fun. It s kind of a work out too. It s like PT (physical training). I enjoy the football, said Spc. Terrence Wiggins. Wiggins worked at a recreation center for three years before joining the Army, and loves to help out with the kids after school. Wiggins has been volunteering for the whole school year. Our (Soldiers ) hours aren t specific, Eye on Education Volunteers instrumental part of success 4B so I m pretty sure most of their parents are still at work right now. This gives them time to actually have fun before they go home and do homework, Wiggins said. It s just fun for them. Ordoñez said the program keeps kids active. The thing about this program that I like is we re getting them away from cellphones, laptops, tablets, all these electronic Fitness Throwdown challenges competitors 11B Photos by Abigail Meyer / Fort Bliss Bugle Editor Capt.

About 65 kids participated in this year s Indoor Olympics. The school held an outdoor version of the competition earlier this year and will have an awards ceremony next week.

2B April 27, 2017 FORT BLISS BUGLE Birds, bees and brats: Exposure to culture breeds curiosity in military kids By Lisa Smith Molinari Special to the Fort Bliss Bugle Time for gelato! I blurted, pulling our kids away from a statue at the Vatican City Museum during a family trip to Rome. We had stopped on our way to the Sistine Chapel to take a closer look at the strange female sculpture that we initially thought was covered in some kind of fruit were they mangoes? The plaque on the adjacent wall explained that she was Artemis, the goddess of fertility, and she was adorned with severed bull testicles. Ahem. While stationed in Europe, my husband, Francis, and I tried to expose Hayden, Anna and Lilly to art, history and culture as much as possible. Typical military brats, they had no idea how fortunate they were to live a minivan ride away from Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Florence, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague and other European cultural meccas. Sometimes to their chagrin, we took them to see paintings and sculptures in every city we visited. And, as it is with art, many of the renderings were explicit, causing our children to giggle, gawk or grimace in embarrassment. We indulged them - they are kids, after alland hoped that someday, when it mattered, they d remember standing before the original works of Edouard Manet, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Sandro Botticelli, Paul Cezanne and other greats. However, some pieces were so detailed, they caused our children s mental wheels to spin. Wait a minute what is that, and what s it for anyway? their disturbed looks seemed to say. After fielding many awkward questions, Francis and I got good at knowing which masterpieces we should breeze by quickly. We shuffled the kids past explicit nudes in Paris Musee d Orsay on our way to see classics like Claude Monet s Blue Water Lilies and James Whistler s Whistler s Mother. We didn t let the kids linger too long at the base of Giambologna s The Rape of Sabines in Florence s Galleria dell Accademia, opting to find Michelangelo s anatomically humongous but relatively benign David instead. And as soon as we found out that the Vatican City Museum s statue of Artemis was not covered in mangoes after all, we used the oldest bait and switch in the book - ice cream. However, on our final trip in Europe before moving back to the U.S., it became clear that I could no longer avoid the curiosity of our youngest child, Lilly. It was the end of our three-year tour. Francis had already moved to his next duty station at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, and I stayed behind so the kids could finish out the school year. Regretting that we d never had the chance to visit Greece and Croatia, I booked a last-minute cruise with port calls in Venice, Bari, Corfu and Dubrovnik. Perfect! I thought, looking forward to checking the rest of the boxes on my family s travel wish list. But of course, things were not perfect. Lilly, Anna and I got seasick after departing Venice. After a long night of tagteaming in our state room s tiny bathroom and rationing the remaining scraps of toilet paper, we wandered around Bari the following morning, dazed and queasy. In my weakened state, I didn t have the energy to censor what the kids were seeing. All I could do was sip shakily from a cappuccino while they gawked at nude statues and giggled at paintings. I could tell that Lilly s head was spinning with questions. Later, while Anna and Hayden visited the arcade, I took Lilly for a mother-daughter dinner at the ship s buffet. Even though my parental judgment was still somewhat impaired from lingering seasickness, I decided to seize the opportunity to enlighten my daughter. Sitting there in a booth on that Italian cruise ship, using breadsticks and rigatoni noodles as my visual aids, I told Lilly all about the birds and the bees. Too stunned to finish her pasta, Lilly just sat there, her brown eyes wide. It was as if she was trying to process all that she had seen during our three years in Europe. Whether this bombshell made things easier or more difficult for her to comprehend, I couldn t say. All I knew was, if Lilly asked me any follow up questions, I was armed with the perfect answer - Let s get some ice cream! military mondays 20% off with military i.d. Eastside 7970 Gateway E.

4B April 27, 2017 FORT BLISS BUGLE Eye on Education: Volunteers instrumental part of success By José Espinoza Superintendent, Socorro Independent School District As a father of two sons and superintendent of the second largest school district in El Paso, I understand that parents want to help their children to succeed academically, socially and emotionally. This is why from the onset of my tenure as the leader of the Socorro Independent School District, it has been my commitment to treat and educate all students as if they are my own children. I also firmly believe in being inclusive and José Espinoza having an open-door policy, especially when it comes to parents being involved in their children s education. In the way that Team SISD offers endless opportunities for students to be prepared for college, careers and life, we also offer endless opportunities for parents to be engaged and involved in our schools. There are numerous ways that parents can help their children at school, and we highly encourage all parents to become registered volunteers in Team SISD. Volunteers are an instrumental part of our success at the campus and district level, where we rely on help from these dedicated individuals on a daily basis. As a volunteer for Team SISD, what can you do? Some activities include tutoring and mentoring opportunities; special projects such as gifted and talented enrichment, science programs, community outreach and arts and crafts; faculty support such as classroom, library or nurse assistant; monitoring during lunch, on the playground, during drop off and pick-up times; and helping with special events such as literacy nights, field trips, wellness days and classroom festivities. Other unique volunteer opportunities in Team SISD include being part of parent patrol groups that help with school safety and security, helping with mother and son and father and daughter districtwide conferences; taking part in a wellness day where the entire school community is invited; participating in school and district level committees where decisions are made to support student achievement and to ensure district success. Team SISD currently has more than 7,000 registered volunteers who provide their service, time and talent with all of these activities and so much more. Our volunteers have put in more than 113,000 hours of service this school year, with an estimated value of $2.6 We welcome patients to visit our facility for a FREE EVALUATION and EDUCATIONAL CONSULTATION We offer State-of-the-art ORTHOTICS PROSTHETICS DIABETIC SHOES TEXAS ARTIFICIAL LIMBS LAB, INC ACCREDITED FACILITY 2900 Pershing, Ste.

We recently celebrated SISD volunteers at our annual volunteer recognition event in honor of Public School Volunteer Week April 17 through 21 and National Volunteer Week April 23 through Saturday. Every year we pay tribute to their efforts and give more than 55 awards to the most deserving volunteers. In fact, two SISD volunteers in 2015 and 2016 earned the Heroes for Children Award, a statewide recognition which honors individuals making a difference for students and schools. Team SISD s volunteer program has long served as a model program for other up and coming districts. Team SISD s volunteers benefit students by providing enriched learning experiences, opportunities for exploration, additional individualized and personal attention and learning reinforcement. Volunteers help our schools gain additional services without extra cost, extra teacher time to provide supplemental instruction and help increase community support, parent involvement and cooperation. I invite you to visit www.sisd.net/volunteer to learn more and register to be part of the outstanding Team SISD volunteer program. Your involvement, talent and service is vital to Team SISD s academic excellence. For more information, you may also email rtaran03@sisd.net or call 937-1618.

6B April 27, 2017 FORT BLISS BUGLE STAND-TO!: Volunteer Appreciation Week By U.S. Army Installation Management Command What is it? The U.S. Army recognizes volunteers extraordinary service and support during Volunteer Appreciation Week and highlights the volunteers contributions and accomplishments. The Army uses VAW, which was established by executive order in 1974, to communicate through community organizations to formally recognize and celebrate our volunteers and help contribute to esprit de corps throughout the Army Family. Volunteers serve Soldiers, families, retirees and civilians, through Family Readiness Groups, coaching youth sports, assisting administrative offices and other ways critical to building a strong community. What has the Army done? The Army supports volunteers through U.S. Army Installation Management Command programs like Army Community Service, the Army Volunteer Corps and Army OneSource by giving them the opportunities, resources and tools for success. The Army Volunteer Corps, managed by the U.S. Army Installation Management Command s Army Community Service, uses this program to generate interest and commitment for volunteers to identify service opportunities, log service hours and receive support and guidance. This year s recognition theme during VAW, through Friday, is Army Volunteers: Service for Life. Through volunteerism, AVC develops and enhances volunteers career mobility, establishes partnerships with off-post organizations and promotes a lifelong commitment to service. During VAW, garrison AVC coordinators are planning to conduct events to publicly show gratitude for volunteers efforts including recognition ceremonies with garrison leadership presence. What continued efforts are planned for the future? The Army continues to attract, encourage and recognize volunteers as valuable team members serving as resources whose service will benefit all Soldiers, families, civilians and retirees. AVC will continue to provide both on-post and off-post volunteer opportunities for all who desire to give their time and efforts. AVC will also continue to provide in-person support to volunteers and foster partnerships with the surrounding communities. Why is this important to the Army? Volunteers are essential to the Army s mission. Thousands of volunteers around the world devote their time regularly by serving the Army community. Volunteers are able to accomplish community work that would not have been done otherwise due to time constraints and financial limitations faced by the Army. The support of volunteers assists in accomplishing the Army s missions. The Army recognizes and appreciates the commitment, contributions and sacrifices of the volunteers.
