✈️ From the Cockpit to the Classroom
May 2 2025 — ✈️ From the Cockpit to the Classroom
Earlier this week, our Lakenheath Middle School students had the incredible opportunity to hear from F-35 pilot Samantha “Force” Vernon, who shared her inspiring journey as a military child.
Samantha spoke about the unique challenges and sacrifices she faced growing up in a military family—and how those experiences built the resilience, adaptability, and strength that now help her thrive in the skies as a fighter pilot.
Her story reminded us all that the military child experience, while tough, can forge powerful tools for success. Thank you, “Force,” for empowering our students with your words and example! 💪🌟
