Our speaker at our May 14th meeting was Lt Col Keith "Habu" Young, former commander of the 94th FS. His presentation provided highlights from the most recent deployment of the 94th FS for Operation INHERENT RESOLVE (OIR). From Lt Col Young's remarks, we gained a new appreciation for the hard work our fighter squadrons put in to make a deployment successful. At this meeting we also honored our Teachers of the Year. In the K-8 catgegory we selected Mrs. Jaclyn Haas. She has been a 5th grade teacher at Poquoson Elementary School for nine years. For the past two years, Jackie has chaired the STEM Day at Poquoson Elementary. She worked with multiple grade levels and assisted in getting them the supplies they needed. Jackie Haas is a leader at PES and embraces the belief of what STEM truly is. In the 9-12 Grades category we honored Mr. Daniel Diggs who is a STEM teacher for grades 10-12 at Poquoson High School. He's a dedicated faculty member of the Poquoson High Science and Career and Technical Education (CTE) departments. Daniel is incredibly adept at providing experiences for students to not just learn the content, but to truly experience the content. Mr. Diggs is a tornado of learning, and inspires that same passion in his students.
