We are in the fourteenth year of this NJROTC program. Each year has
been more exciting and more rewarding than the previous one. The realization of
successful past events has been brought about from the sponsorship of the NJROTC
Cadet Parents Organization.
The
NJROTC program is funded only for classroom needs, including uniforms and
textbooks. The curriculum can be taught on a minimum level. However, the spirit
and soul of the unit which contributes to its success, is the ability to
participate in activities outside the classroom. Events such as community
service, field trips, team competitions, camps, seminars, conferences,
ceremonies, parades and memorials give our young people opportunities they would
not necessarily find available.
The logistics of these events include transportation, housing, meals, tickets,
etc. The ONLY way these necessities are met is by fundraising. The biggest asset
to the NJROTC program has been the incredible motivation and dedication by the
parents and patrons who have so generously donated their resources and their
time to participate in fundraising
activities.
This is a nationally
ranked award winning NJROTC unit. We are proud to have a CPO membership of over
50 parents and patrons and over 60 folks at the monthly meetings. This
represents over 1/3 of the cadet enrollment.
