Jimmy Buffett says “don’t stop the carnival.”  Wyclef Jean says “rolling to the carnival, anything can happen.”  After the carnival put on by the Wake Forest-Rolesville JRTOC for BounceBack Kids on May 17th , 2009,  I couldn’t agree more with either one of these two artists.  The JROTC led by Coach Dimitri Belmont put on a carnival, a carnival where anything can happen, that left a smile on all of the kids’ faces.  And what those smiles said was “don’t stop the carnival.”

Anything and everything can happen at this carnival.  Regardless of what was going on, fun was being had and kids were smiling.  So as Jimmy Buffett says,  “Don’t stop the carnival.”  Look for the carnival to continue next spring.  Look for moms, executive directors, and basketball players who can’t dance alike continue to … dance.  Most importantly, look for kids to continue to smile.  Thank you JROTC because that is what it is all about.
