Nease NJROTC cadets and their families enjoyed a fun and memorable Topgolf Day on Monday, January 19th at Topgolf Jacksonville. Cadets, family members, and friends spent the morning on the range enjoying friendly competition, laughter, and time together. The event provided a great opportunity for families to connect while supporting our NJROTC program. With two hours of golf, lunch, and drinks included, everyone had a great time, and the cadets truly enjoyed a well-deserved break while building camaraderie outside the classroom. Thank you to all who came out!

We had an amazing turnout of cadets and parents for our Spirit Night at M Shack on February 3! Cadets took on a fun round of trivia and made it all the way to the final round where they were narrowly defeated by our instructors. A rematch may be in the works! Parents enjoyed great food and fellowship throughout the evening. 

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our program, and a special thank you to M Shack for hosting us.
