School is back in session and that means it’s time to gear up for another year of partnerships between Naval Air Station Patuxent River and Southern Maryland schools. This year’s Personal Excellence Partnerships program (PEP) kick-off ceremony is scheduled for 10-11 am on Wednesday, September 18, at the Frank Knox building, building 2189, in room 100. This annual event brings together the station’s partnership coordinators for local schools, school principals and county public school Superintendants. Station employees interested in becoming volunteers are also invited to attend. Personal Excellence Partnerships are long-term, supportive relationships between Navy commands and public and/or private schools. PEP volunteers tutor, mentor, provide technical expertise and serve as positive role models to boost students’ self esteem, reach personal goals and achieve academic success.
