Summer's over, you're back in school. You knew it would happen, but not so soon. For our new ninth graders, welcome to high school. For everyone else, welcome back. This will be a busy year. Things will happen fast--right around the corner we have our fundraiser at Rita's, we're collecting cell phones for recycling, we expect to take at least one bus of cadets to the NYC Veterans; Day Parade on November 11th, and our Tricky Tray is on 18 November. Somewhere along the way we will participate in at least one, maybe two, drill meets, probably at Washingtnville or Bethel. Next week will be the first uniform day for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and before long we will be issuing uniforms to freshmen.
Don't forget, though, the purpose of school isn't to socialize with friends, play ball, or be a squared-away cadet. Those are all certainly good things to do, but the real purpose of school is to get an education. That's an active process that requires you to work your hardest. Get on with it!
