🌟 Claremore NJROTC: Serving with Purpose, Leading with Character! 🌟 At Claremore High School and Junior High, our NJROTC cadets are more than students. They are leaders in service who embody our core values of community and purpose daily. This year alone, they have dedicated an outstanding 3,377 hours to improving our school and community! 💪🏼🦓 Service isn’t just about time, it’s about character. Twenty-five cadets demonstrated this by giving 100+ hours each, proving that leadership starts with action. Whether volunteering, supporting local events, or mentoring younger students, these cadets are setting the standard for what it means to give back. Our cadets aren’t just preparing for their futures by prioritizing service, integrity, and teamwork. They’re actively shaping the culture of our school and inspiring others to do the same. Their dedication reminds us that small acts of service create a lasting impact on those around us. 📢 Thank you, cadets, for showing that leadership starts with giving back!🦓❤ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
