FCHS AFJROTC Awareness Presentation Team
FCHS AFJROTC is currently in the process of forming an Awareness Presentation Team.
APT Meeting 13 April 2009 1515-1600
The Awareness Presentation Team (APT) is an academic endeavor designed to provide positive role models for elementary and middle school students. Initially implemented in 1990 to deliver an anti-drug message to younger students, it has expanded to cover topics such as peer pressure, conflict resolution, sexual issues, violence, and alcohol awareness. The team is usually composed of about 10 cadets who are selected by their instructor. Cadets research a subject, then prepare and deliver a presentation. Units with active programs make presentations to thousands of students annually and team members can qualify to wear the APT Badge on their AFJROTC uniform. AFJROTC also supports programs in the local communities such as the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) and the Red Ribbon campaign -- a program established in remembrance of federal agent, Enrique Camarena, who was killed in Mexico by drug traffickers.
