Unit Announcements

Cadets,

We're quickly approaching the finish line for the fundraiser, and this might be your last chance to have someone NEW take the fundraiser to their favorite place to hang out on the weekend. Who could you ask?

Be sure to also do 1 more lap around to the teachers, secretaries, custodians, lunch ladies, bus drivers, principals, and other school staff.

Please remember to bring in those forms on Monday! Money is not due until after delivery of the items in October.

Families,

     This Saturday, September 20th, the Grove City High School NJROTC will be proudly marching in the Arts in the Alley Parade. We would greatly appreciate your support to help make this a memorable experience for the community.

     To help us spread some joy, we are collecting donations of bags of individually wrapped candy that our cadets can pass out to children along the parade route.

     Your donation will not only delight the kids, but also help the cadets represent our program and the school in this cherished annual event.

Please bring your candy donations to the GCHS NJROTC room, or send in with your cadet, by Friday, September 19th. 

Families and Cadets, 

Tomorrow is our annual Welcome Back and Welcome Aboard Picnic, and we've got a ton of fun in store for everyone at Fryer Park!

Join us for some great food and good times. The incredible boosters are providing food and drinks for all!

For Parents

Parents, we'd love for you to join our first Booster Meeting of the year. You'll learn about the activities and fundraisers we support and discover how you can get involved. It's a great way to contribute to our unit's success!

For New Cadets

Get ready for an adventure! New cadets will get to learn the basics of Orienteering, then put their new skills to the test in a friendly competition. The best part? You'll earn your very first ribbon—the Orienteering ribbon!

Families and Cadets,

Our Century Resources fundraiser has started! Our goal is to raise $15,000 for Field Trips, Overnight Military Orientation Trips, and Extra-Curricular Competition costs.  

The expectation is for every student to sell at least 15 items!

**Fundraising allows us to lower costs, buy additional equipment, and continue to grow the program, so we really do need every cadet to participate. Please encourage and support your cadet to get out and participate!

Please post our WebStore link on your social media pages!

Families and Cadets,

This summer, in support of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization, we raised funds once again for the DAV Field of Flags. Our goal was to hit $250 to secure 24 flags that will proudly stand in front of the school during the week of Veterans' Day.

We doubled that amount by raising $510! Now we would like to triple our goal. 

As we return to school and approach Veterans' Day, we would love to raise even more donations so we can fill the front of Grove City High School with American flags to salute our veterans and make a truly impactful display!

Click here to donate and help us honor our heroes:

Grove City NJROTC Field of Flags Fall Fundraiser

Each flag represents one veteran - and our unwavering commitment to serving all veterans after they've sacrificed so much for our country.

All donations raise critical funds to support DAV (Disabled American Veterans) life-changing services for veterans in need and their families.  

Will you join us?
