| JROTC Carwash Saturday, 15 October 2011 JROTC members held a carwash at Cici's Pizza on North Beach Street to earn money for uniforms. The carwash was great success, bringing in $610. In addition, the Poly Alumni Association will match that amount, for a total of $1,220 to be used for the purchase of uniforms. The students, under the leadership of Major Charles Brent and 1SG Terrence Campbell, did a great job, and were very pleased and appreciative of support from Poly alumni. This is a great group of kids. |
| IT'S OFFICIAL NEW and UPDATED COMPETITION UNIFORMS for JROTC W. O. Kelly, outgoing President of Poly Alumni Association, recently visited Poly and made a fabulous $ presentation to Poly's JROTC. This final check presentation along with $'s previously donated will cover the cost of new/ updated competition uniforms and accessories. Major Charles Brent, 1st. Sargeant Terrence Campbell and the cadet officers all thought W. O. would be presenting a check donation from the Poly Alumni Association in the amount of $610 representing a matching $ amount for the monies the cadets had recently raised at a carwash. What a surprise when W. O. handed the check to Principal, Daniel Scroggins, and announced the $ amount of $3,610...$610 from the Poly Alumni Association and $3,000 donated on behalf of the Class of 1955. The original estimated $ 's required by Poly's JROTC was $6,445. Through the exceptional generosity of individual Poly Alumni, Class of 1955, Class of 1959, $ funds from The Poly Alumni Association, and JROTC cadet carwash, this $6,445 was raised. Beginning in February 2012, these young men and women will be performing in competition proudly wearing new/ updated uniforms with new accessories. Needless to say, the assembled JROTC group and Principal Scroggins all were speechless, extremely surprised and a whole bunch of hugging and hand shaking took place. What a great event for these cadets to know that former Poly Alumni still care. |
