Helping Students and the Community
The Kitty Hawk Air Society is an organization through JROTC that is part of the Honor society. They academically thrive to help educate the wing and do good service for the community. Timber Creek’s AFJROTC Kitty Hawk Air Society’s president is senior Euri Cerrud. The program has meetings with its members once a month and usually discuss upcoming events and tutoring sessions. The members are all students at Timber Creek (mostly seniors and juniors) and are able to help tutor the students in need of academic help.
Cerrud said that he wanted to be president of the Kitty Hawk program because there was originally going to be another girl to do it, but she was academically too busy. He decided to step up and run the program. Cerrud thought that they needed a few changes to the program overall, and is currently running it smoothly. He enjoys his position and tutoring students as he said, “I love teaching people, it’s fun.” The only downside he says to being president is that he has had to give probation letters to some friends not doing their job or remove them off of the program.
The community service done by the Kitty Hawk program is really helpful to the community. The program mostly volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House which is a charity similar to a motel that houses people whose children are in the hospital for serious cases such as really bad cancer where they must stay for an extended period of time. Their stay there is free and is mostly taken care of by volunteer work and the money provided by McDonald’s donations. The Kitty Hawk program goes there to help cook in the kitchen. They also help with Clean the World which they help find out which soap to recycle and when it’s recycled, it gets reformed and sent to countries such as Africa and India to clean those that don’t have soap to clean themselves.
