                  BIG CAMP NEWS!

We had 18 cadets total at the Fall Raiders Camp.... Compass/obstacle course, The Tower, Sergeant Dorsey's 2 foot long trout (Serious!)....

     And then there were 5 beat up cadets on the field...

        ....in sudden death overtime....

                                              .....with out an ounce of energy to spare - they executed an over-the-head, 15 yard drive with all ten athletes falling over the goal line for the winning score!

The Chuck Cup is back! 

       It was a tremendous sight with ALL cadets from ALL schools giving everything they had and leaving it on the field.  Congratulations to you all.

Video to follow.....

OH..... less than 3 weeks until the Formal Inspection.  Have you studied your Guide today?

OPERATION GRATITUDE UPDATE!

The Montcalm Community pulled together with representatives from the Elementary Schools, Families.... Friends.... and other classes and we consolidated and sent a total of 582 Thank You Letters, handmade Christmas cards and 'refrigerator art' to be sent to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines inside Operation Gratitude care packages later this month.

But it gets better....

Carolyn Blashek, the Founder and CEO of Operation Gratitude was on the Classroom Speaker Phone personally thanking each of the four Companies throughout the day for their hard work they put into their personal 'Letters To Heroes' letter writing campaigns.

AND there's MORE!

Sergeant Dorsey didn't know.... NOBODY knew the news Carolyn had for us.....   The Montcalm community has contributed more letters, thank you cards and refrigerator art for the Operation Gratitude Care Package drives (twice a year since 2002) .....

THAN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES!

Congratulations Montcalm and the Mighty Generals Battalion!

END OF FIRST GRADING PERIOD!

Unbelievable!  We are 1/4 of the way there! 

What did you do? 

Guess what? 

There's a strong probability that if you did a lot the FIRST GP.... you will do the same NEXT GP.

Guess what else? 

The same goes for inactivity. 

Don't miss out. 

There is too much more to do and you have to think about the Second Semester also.

Sets your sights high.....

Homecoming Week was a great success! 

The school assemblies, pep rally,

parade (53 Cadets!),

a big win for the football team (54 to 12)

and our first ever Honor Guard for the Homecoming Queen candidates. Just Great. 

NOW we switch gears.....

Letters To Heroes. 

Raiders Camp.

Drill X #1. 

And don't forget - the Formal Inspection is only 5 weeks away!

GET BUSY!

To Be a Great Leader

You First Have to Be a Great Follower      

That's the 'phrase of the week'. 

Why should you care? 

Maybe you don't want to be a great leader! 

But I bet you want to be great at SOMETHING in your life. 

JROTC is the place to learn the keys to get you there. 

Make a decision.
