Military Academy Day; April 6th, 2019
Posted: 4/10/2019
Congressman Guest’s Academy Day 2019 at Madison Central High School was a great success. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Naval Academy and West Point Military Academy parents clubs we were able to supply snacks to all our candidates, students and their families. Thank you to all the parents who donated snack items and special thanks to Michelle Smothers (mother of Midshipman Fridge ’20) for the wonderful Navy parents presentation table. Good luck to all the Class of 2023 Candidates!

Dark Ages Care Packages
Posted: 1/30/2019
To help our Midshipmen beat the Dark Ages (really cold, dreary northern weather) the USNA MS Parents’ Club mailed out care packages to our Mississippi Midshipmen and NAPS Appointees this week. They each received a $25.00 gift card to Chipotle Mexican Grill, pralines, moon pies, chocolate coins, and Mardi Gras beads. We hope our southern Midshipmen are staying warm in the northeast with the crazy polar vortex that has us all in its grip right now. Thank you to the parents who join the club you make it possible to send care packages to all our Mids. Just five more weeks until SPRING BREAK for our Midshipmen. We hope they all enjoyed a bit of Mardi Gras!

December 28, 2018 Christmas Dinner
Posted: 1/4/2019
The USNA Parents’ Club of MS hosted the annual Christmas Dinner with 95 people in attendance at Table 100 in Flowood, MS. Present were 13 Midshipmen, 14 Candidates to include one from the Naval Academy Preparatory School and two from other Foundation schools, and their families. We presented US Flags flown over the United States Capital on the Navy’s Birthday in their honor to our First Class Midshipmen in attendance. We also presented Lt. Governor Proclamations to the Second Class Midshipmen for signing their 2 for 7 commitment to the US Navy or Marine Corps (two more years of school and 5 years of service). We celebrated our Midshipmen and our NAPS and Foundation Candidates that were in attendance and were able to give each Midshipman a small gift. It is wonderful to be able to get together and get to know each other better. The Parents’ Club hopes everyone who was able to attend had a wonderful evening.
Special guests in attendance included Steve Guyton from Congressman Guest’s office, Bruce Proctor, David Carter and Lake Ellis, Blue & Gold Officers, and Robert Smith from Congressman Guest’s Office. We hope to see everyone at the next gathering.
Happy New Year!
