For JAC Navy Petty Officer Jason Snellings, Air Force Technical Sgt Noel Cumberland and Staff Sgt. Jocelyn Rich it was back to elementary school in a colorful way last week.

For Headmaster Mr. Peter Allen and the just over 100 children of the Brington Church of England Primary School in Cambridgeshire, England it was a bright day as the JAC E-6 Association presented the school with 150 boxes of 24 crayons, 130 glue sticks, and 35 bottles of school glue. Mr. Allen noted that these items will keep the kids well supplied with the makings for arts and crafts until at least Christmas. The school is located in a tiny rural English village close to the Royal Air Force Molesworth home of the U.S. European Command Joint Analysis Center.

According to E-6 Association President Technical Sgt. Chris Kaelin, the gift of school supplies with a local value in excess of $300 is just one of the many ways in which this dynamic RAF Molesworth group gives back to our local community.

The E-6 Association welcomes active and former members of all services at the E-6 level. The group holds numerous fund raising events and supports events as diverse as the annual UK Cancer Run for Life and the RAF Alconbury holiday parade. The group also supports scholarships and other events together with the RAF Alconbury 5-6 Association.
