Weekly Update November 18 to 24

Hello Everyone


Thank you to all the cadets who participated in the No Stone Left Alone event and the Remembrance Day service on Monday.  Everyone did a terrific job and I am very proud of you.  Please remember to bring in your Community Service sheets so we can fill them out for you for your high school credit.


Tomorrow is the first day of the Area Directed Activity at the Trenton Cadet Training Center.  I hope everyone has a great time - meet new friends, participate in extra army cadet training and experience what a summer training event would look like.  PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR HEALTH CARDS!


The deadline for reserving and paying for your seat at the mess dinner is Monday, Nov 18.  All cadets are free but other family members are welcome to attend for a fee.  Please see my separate email regarding the mess dinner.
