On May 16th, members of Magnolia Junior High's chapter of the National Junior Honor Society volunteered at the 2nd Annual Operation Ruck the Bayou for the local branch of the Joshua Chamberlain Society (JCS). The student volunteers lent a hand to ensure the 5K and 10K run through Houston's Bayou district was a success for JCS and worthwhile for all the participants running for a good cause that day. This event is one of the vital fundraisers for JCS, which also hosted a skeet shoot in August in Conroe, a golf tournament in Cypress in October, Run for a Reason for the Houston Marathon, and a fishing tournament in April in Matagorda.
JCS was originally started in St. Louis in 2007 and JCS Houston was started in 2019. The mission of JCS is to support post-9/11 combat-wounded veterans for life. JCS goes beyond writing one check and supports its veterans in their needs as well as build a family between the veterans they support. JCS currently supports six local veterans in the Houston area.
