Parents, Guardians, family members – We Need Your Help on Jan 28th for Fierce Fox Meet 2023 where we host 500+ cadets from around the low country at Ashley Ridge High School for multiple team skill competitions. Specifically, we need adult volunteers to help our booster club with concessions—selling and handing out pizza, drinks, chips and snacks. Lunch starts at 1100am and we will have concession sales throughout the meet from 0800-1500. Concessions will be located indoors in the ARHS cafeteria. Please shoot me an email if you are willing to help and what time window you can support.
Congratulations to our Cyber Team for placing first in the State Round competition for Cyber Patriot. They will advance to the national Semi-Finals on Jan 21st.
Curriculum in Action (CIA Trip) to the National Museum of the Air Force / Kings Island and C-130 familiarization ride: We have 1 seat available. If interested, please notify First Sergeant Powell.
