Help JROTC Protect the Environment and Raise a Little Money

JROTC has added another good deed to their growing list of community-building efforts. The JROTC has started a fundraiser to collect used inkjet cartridges and old cell phones.

MSgt Antonelli writes in an email sent to the staff, ”we have placed a box for each in the general office. Bring in those used cartridges you normally just toss in the trash and toss them in our box. We are also accepting old, damaged cell phones.”

You may also donate laser printer cartridges.

Once the box is full, it will be sent to the recycling company. All monies collected from the this fundraiser will go help pay for Drill Competition fees and Insignia for cadets uniforms.

If you have any questions, contact MSgt Antonelli at ext. 5458.

JROTC Cleans Up and Promotes Citizenship

On October 3, twenty-five cadets of Truman’s JROTC gathered at the school to pick trash, sweep, rake, and pull weeds, with one goal in mind: to help beautify the grounds.

“This is just one of the activities we do to promote citizenship,” said MSgt Antonelli.

Cadet Koena Garrett, when asked by a friend to explain why she was picking up trash, responded, “because I want to.” MSgt Antonelli believes that her comment “represents the tremendous attitude some of our cadets possess. I think it speaks well of her and the other cadets who are seen making a positive impact on our campus.”

If you are interested in having your class/group join the next clean up, please contact MSgt Antonelli at AAntone@schools.nyc.gov.
