⚓ Today, Mr. Jones visited MCE to share valuable information about the United States Coast Guard and the important roles and responsibilities of its members. Our Eagles were excited to learn about how the Coast Guard protects our nation and serves our communities every day. Mr. Jones proudly served in the Coast Guard for 28 years and brought a wealth of knowledge and real-life experiences to share with our students. His stories sparked curiosity and meaningful conversations throughout the day. We are grateful for his service and for taking the time to inspire our students. Thank you, Mr. Jones, for an engaging and informative visit!
