Their Annual Warrior Night occurred on Thursday, September 28th, with the unit coming together to celebrate traditions and enjoying some light-hearted fun. On Saturday, September 30th, the Raider Team participated in the Dawson Raider Challenge, facing off against nearly 50 other teams. The competition was held on a beautiful day, and the team's hard work paid off with a 2nd place trophy in the Team Relay Run and an impressive 3rd place overall trophy.
Looking ahead, the team is gearing up for another challenge as they travel to South Paulding on Saturday, October 7th. Additionally, post-fall break activities included the annual fall field meet, which proved to be an incredible experience for all involved.
