This past weekend, our AFJROTC Corps proudly participated in Erie’s Veterans Day Parade, marching alongside our community to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation.
It was a great opportunity for our cadets to demonstrate pride, patriotism, and respect while recognizing the sacrifices made by generations of American veterans.
Today, our cadets visited multiple local nursing homes, performing flag folding ceremonies in a powerful tribute to the service and sacrifice of America's veterans. With professionalism, precision, and deep respect, our cadets carefully folded the American flag before presenting it to a remarkable 104-year-old World War II veteran. The presentation created an emotional moment that touched everyone in attendance, serving as a meaningful reminder of the courage and dedication of the “Greatest Generation.”
Our cadets' actions reflected the core values of AFJROTC and demonstrated their commitment to honoring those who have served our nation. These unforgettable experiences bridged generations and left a lasting impact on both the veterans and our cadets. #Prep #VeteransDay

On Friday, the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) held their annual “Pies & Picasso” event in the Salata Technology & Innovation Center. Ellen Hutchinson ’27 and Elizabeth Hutchinson ’29 led the participants in the painting of a fall pumpkin and gourd smorgasbord, or “Smorgasgourd.” NAHS members volunteered to help participants with the painting process. A large assortment of pies was provided for people to enjoy while they painted. NAHS raised nearly $1000 from the event, which will help the club pay for their art museum field trip later in the year. Some outstanding paintings were created, and a good time was had by all! #Prep #NAHS 🎨🎃🥧
