Volunteer Opportunities
Recent Event
On Friday December 10, students at Wangenheim Middle School participated in Marine and Navy- led fitness challenges in P.E. classes
throughout the day. While several elementary schools have participated in similar challenges, Friday’s visit marked the first time servicemen and
woman have led such a challenge on a middle school campus in the San Diego Unified School District. Between push-ups and sit-ups, the group of
25 Marines and sailors sat down with the middle school students for lunch in the school cafeteria. Wangenheim’s close proximity to the base
means the school has a high population of students from military families. Over the past two years, the school has nurtured those students by
developing the partnership with Miramar, making school a little easier for students whose parents may be deployed. The event is “a natural
partnership” between the school and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, according to Vice Principal Carmi Strom. *Article published December
