Our JROTC students attended a drill competition at Westinghouse 1 Dec 2012. There were 17 schools out of which we placed 3rd place. Our next competition is Saturday, 12-8. JROTC students and staff were tasked to have a March of Dimes fundraiser by JROTC Headquarters. Students raised $1488.00 ($3.00 per cadet), and a check for $1488.00 was presented to the March of Dimes on Friday 7 December 2012.

Foreman JROTC students received a meritorious unit award for our outstanding contributions and willingness to serve the City of Chicago and the Department of JROTC. We received this award for the work our students did while assisting May Emmanuel at the Vietnam Veterans Day Ceremony.

The Day of Silence is a day of action in which students vow to take a from of silence to call attention to the mass amount of violence in our schools. Organizing a Day of Silence (DOS) activity or event can be a positive tool for change-both personally and community-wide. By taking a vow of silence, you're making a powerful statement about the important issue of violence, and when you organize others to join you that message becomes stronger.

 During lunch periods, Peer Jury students will sell white ribbons to raise money for our troops and peaceful efforts in Afghanistan in addition you can sign up for future Peace Week activities:

• ñ  Sign up for The Day of Silence (Thursday, march 22) to honor those lost to violence.
• ñ  Sign up for a service learning project: Mural Painting (Spring Break) at a local elementary school.
• ñ  Sign up for a Peace Walk ( during Foreman Fest 2012).

The newly elected mayor, Rahm Emanuel, and Mrs.Maggie Daley were welcomed to Foreman High School on Thursday, March 31, 2011, by our principal, Larry Irvin. They were here to view the After School Matters (ASM) Programs at Foreman; Martial Arts, Sports 37, Video Documentary, and the Science Squad. Mrs. Daley, the founder of ASM Programs, accompanied Mr. Emanuel as he took a tour to all the After School Matters Programs. Both, Mrs. Daley and Mr. Emanuel, were impressed with the dedication and determination the students embodied in each program. They were thrilled that the program expanded immensely from 206 students 20 years ago to now around 20,000 students. Mr.Emanuel plans on enlarging these programs for all of the students, hoping more of the CPS students are willing to take these advantages. He stated, “The After School Matters Program will stay and build.”
