Hello everyone, I am Abygail Beltran, a cadet part of JROTC and also part of the Raiders team within JROTC. A Raider is a physically fit group of cadets making up a team of either all-males, all-females, or even mixed. These teams will compete in 5 events in one day, and they aren’t easy. Recently, the Raider team competed at the National Brigade Qualifier in Ozark, Missouri, which then both teams qualified to compete at All-Service Nationals in Molena, GA 30 October through 2 November.

As you may know, the government was shut down, which means funds are not being provided. The JROTC program receives funding from the government to be able to buy uniforms, transportation, meals, etc. This means our JROTC program is not being funded with the money we need to be able to compete at All-Service Nationals in Molena, GA 30 October through 2 November. With that being said, our JROTC program is kindly asking for donations to help our cause. We appreciate what this will help do.
