MCVSD MAST History Teacher Jessica Cappadona participated in Monmouth County’s Sept. 11 Memorial Ceremony, during which she spoke about the great responsibility of teaching the events and aftermath of the terrorist attacks to her students. She annually takes students to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in Manhattan, which further conveys to them the importance of civic responsibility and community. This is especially powerful for MAST students, who all participate in the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) as part of their academic programming.
