The JROTC program conducted its monthly Cadet of the Month Board. 5 Cadets were nominated to participate in the board. October's cadets of the month were Josh Bush and Bekkett Soles. Over the past month the cadets participated in over 20 hours of Community service as they were part of a Battalion wide Service Learning project for the NEA Hospital. These cadets and the entire Battalion will be recognized on 24 November by members of the Jonesboro Community at the NEA Hospital. Josh Bush as the training officer for the Battalion was part of the planning committee for this project. The Cadets also planned and conducted their annual visit to the CAT Club after school program as they hosted a Halloween Scavenger Hunts with the kids. Aside from the Service Learning hours, these cadets continue to train for the defense of our Raider State Championship that begins on 16 November with a trip to White Hall High School. As we approach Veterans day on 11 November lets take a moment and thank these kids for all that they are doing for this school and community while also saying thanks to all our service members past and present.
