“Bent But Not Broken”

Cypress Lake High School JROTC Instructors and Cadets participate in school campus cleanup after the devastating effects from Hurricane Ian.  The JROTC sign was detached during the category 4+ hurricane and later found nearly a half mile away from the JROTC building.  The sign represents the strength, resilience and determination of the people and communities across southwest Florida as we pick up the pieces and rebuild.  We are “bent…but not broken”!
