Carmel Cemetery"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Saipan Southern High School Manta Ray Battalion teamed up with the Kagman High School Ayuyu Battalion to clean up Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Chalan Kanoa last Oct. 12.<\/p>\n<p>Along with their instructors, CSM Richard Basa (SSHS), CPT James Burke (KHS), and SFC Siruelo Giovani (KHS), cadets were up bright and early from 8am to 11a.m. to take the initiative to assist the community. They were provided with gloves, trash bags, and bottled water. With more than 100 cadets participating, the battalions split into groups and worked hard in the scorching heat while focusing on cleaning the weathered wreaths, damaged candles, and other wastes.<\/p>\n<p>The cleanup wrapped up as the Manta Ray Battalion took charge on the right side of the cemetery and the Ayuyu Battalion on the left. Both battalions worked hard together and, ultimately, had a fantastic time cleaning up. Altogether, they filled two large dumpsters with more than 100 trash bags. The battalions were glad they can give their time to the community and make a positive impact. Thank you to all cadets who worked hard for this community service. <em><strong><em>(C\/Cpt.
