  • Operation Breakfast Bars and Afternoon Snacks

    Funded Jan 23, 2025

    Thank you for your generous donation to Operation Breakfast Bars! They were very much needed during our Annual Military Inspection (AMI) and recent competitions! The cadets did a great job organizing the snacks and ensuring enough for each cadet and for our drill, athletic, academic, and color guard teams competing against other schools at our competitions. The breakfast bars also helped immensely when students arrived at school early for community service and events and did not have time to eat breakfast at home. I appreciate your support!”

  • Operation The Hero Code

    Funded Dec 27, 2024

    Thank you for supporting my Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) student cadets by making "Operation Hero Code" possible! The books arrived and my cadets were excited to receive them. Leadership traits including our Core Values of Honor, Courage, Commitment are foundations of learning in our program. Each chapter of the book expands on this learning and will be used in our classroom as lessons and examples. The books will inspire my cadets to make a positive impact and to help others by living the virtues presented in the book.

    Thank you!”

  • Operation Before Practice Snacks

    Funded Nov 11, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity and for making Operation "Before Practice Snacks" possible for my Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets! The snacks arrived and my students were thrilled to receive the packages. They created lists of how to best make the snacks last and to make sure that everyone receives some before our drill team, physical fitness, and color guard practices. The snacks have already been shared during these practices and have been a big hit with my students! Thank you for your support and making this possible!”

  • Operation Storage Cabinet

    Funded Sep 10, 2024

    Thank you for donating to Operation Storage Cabinet and making it possible to improve our classroom space! The storage cabinet is now being used to store uniform items, color guard and drill team equipment, physical fitness supplies, awards, and other items used by cadets in the NJROTC program. This has greatly helped organize our classroom and has created more space!

    The storage area now has labeled areas for items such as ribbons, ranks, and different uniform devices needed during the year.

    Thank you for being you!”

  • Operation Graduation Stoles

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity and making Operation "Graduation Stoles" possible! All my high school Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets were able to wear a NJROTC graduation stole during their ceremony thanks to you. The cadets were excited and thankful to walk down the aisle and receive their diplomas displaying their pride in being part of the NJROTC program. The graduation stoles looked great in photos with friends and family before and after the graduation ceremony. Thank you for making such amazing memories!”

  • Operation Snack Attack

    Funded May 10, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity and for making Operation "Snack Attack" possible for my NJROTC cadets! The snacks were not only helpful during events, but they also made our NJROTC Summer Leadership and Drill Academy a better experience for all my students. The snacks were also helpful in teaching leadership lessons as the cadets were tasked on how to accurately count, save and handout the snacks to each other. The snacks had a lot of variety to choose from making it possible for all cadets to get a snack they enjoy. Thank you!”

    Mr. Sperduto

  • Operation Shadow Box

    Thank you for your generosity and for making this project possible and memorable for my senior Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets. Thanks to your support, each of our graduating seniors will receive a shadow box filled with memories of their time in our high school program.
