Schools

Summer is just around the corner, and right now is the perfect time to begin putting together your family’s summer reading list.

More than 20 German high school students from the Rittersberg Gymnasium in Kaiserslautern got a first-hand look behind the fence at life on a U.S. military base during a visit to Panzer Kaserne June 10.

The drawdown made no discernible impact on promotion rates within one local organization: 42 Scouts from Pack 69 embraced new ranks, new roles and, in many cases, new uniforms during a mass “crossover” ceremony held June 1 at Camp Kachina, located just south of Vogelweh.

Registration is now open for a shared summer reading program that will reach military families on bases and installations around the globe. U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz readers of all ages can dig into a menagerie of book choices around the theme “Paws to Read.”

Having the ability to navigate through any type of terrain and be able to get from point A to point B with a compass and map can be a useful skill to have, not only in an emergency but for recreational purposes as well.
