OTHER GREAT ACTIVITIES
Your cadets continue to stretch themselves with new opportunities. The Drill Team traveled to The Citadel in Charleston, SC this month for our first drill meet of the season. 17 cadets joined our JROTC STEM initiative to build robots, practice cybersecurity, play Esports, and learn engineering and construction in a mobile classroom. Our JROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl teams are established and practicing for their November Competition. We will travel to Richmond Hill on Saturday, December 3rd for the OPTIONAL Christmas Parade. January 16th is the mandatory Martin Luther King Jr Parade. The Essay Team is preparing submissions for regional and national essay contests from the Army, AUSA, and the American Legion. Our S6 shop is preparing a STUDENT NEWSLETTER to report on cadet experiences in the program. And finally, our cadet leaders at the squad, platoon, company, battalion, and staff levels are learning PRACTICAL AND REAL LIFE SKILKLS by leading their units to complete missions of this battalion. Please let your sons and daughters know how proud we are of their efforts and accomplishments.
