The semester ended on a high for JROTC. Michael McLean initiated Operation GPA in an effort to keep our students on track with their academics. They met every Monday and Friday, culminating with three Saturday Mid-Term Prep events building up to regents week. Overall, 39 students concentrated on academics, homework, and midterms for 3 hours in the morning, and played X-Box in the afternoon.
JROTC contributed to Native American Heritage Night with 22 students assisting in making the evening a success. 28 students spent the weekend prior to Thanksgiving packing and delivering Thanksgiving baskets in the Feed the Hungry drive – putting food on the table for over 10,000 people. It was rewarding and humbling with the recognition that there are so many within our community needing assistance.
Upcoming: Staff Training/Retreat in Binghamton, NY – setting up corps events for Semester II; Leadership Challenge Weekend at Norwich University, VT.
