October
was a very busy month. These three important projects were successfully accomplished. Great job cadets! |
|||
AFJROTC collaborated with the
Student Government Association in a successful Homecoming Competition
Canned Food Drive which culminated on 14 October 2011. The goal
of 3,000 was exceeded with 3,250 collected. In first picture
below, left to right, are Sophomore class officers (1st, 2nd, and 4th
persons), center is the Principal, Mr. Nickles. Far right
is AFJROTC Corps Commander, C/Lt Col Alexander Ratliff. Second
picture, left to right, is C/Capt Raymond Williams, along with a senior
and sophomore SGA representative. While standing in front of Walmart,
they, along with others, collected 700 canned foods. |
AFJROTC was involved in Breast
Cancer Awareness Month (October) by talking about this issue in class,
doing research, followed by creating posters for display in the
hallway. Announcements were also prepared and read over the
school's public address system regularly throughout the month.
Cadets are showing off their posters in the below two pictures. |
Another project cadets got involved
in during October 24-28, 2011 was Red Ribbon Week. In addition to
preparing posters for display in the hallway, the cadets offered a
theme to the student body each day. The overarching theme for the
week was "It's Up to You to be Drug Free." Monday's theme was
"Information is Key", Tuesday - "Turn Your Back on Drugs", Wednesday -
"Drugs and I Don't Mix", Thursday - Don't Let Drugs Turn You Inside
Out", Friday - "Wear Red Day". Dum-Dum and Smartie candies were
distributed during lunch on Tuesday and Friday. Anti-drug slogans
were hung from the ceiling in the cafeteria for students to read while
eating. A great effort! |
