Salutes from Students provides classrooms an opportunity to share their support and concern for the service men and women stationed around the world.  Receiving a letter from home can provide a morale boost for our brave men and women making the ultimate sacrifice.  Creating letters and cards can offer students an opportunity to express their appreciation and concern for our troops. 

Guidelines: 

• Due to security concerns and transportation constraints, the Department of Defense cannot accept items to be mailed to " Any Servicemember ."

• It is permissible for a classroom to create one card and have all students sign it.

Send cards, letters, or email to:

• JCHS Graduate (email request for the address)
