Ongoing events

Popcorn Sales:  Our cadets sell popcorn every Tuesday and Thursday during the school year from 3:50 to 4:40 to help support their programs and they need an adult to handle money.  You meet the cadets in the main entrance hall near the trophy case and can park in the teacher's lot or visitor spots near the main office.

One-Time Events Needing Help

Anderson Mill Elementary Fall Festival.  We would need parent volunteers if this event occurs.   Usually happens in the fall.

Female Chaperones for the Fall Trip.  Every fall, the cadets take a multi-day trip to Newk's Ranch.  It typically runs from early Thursday morning until late Saturday night sometime in October or November.  Two female chaperones are needed to assist with this trip.  There is no cost to the chaperones and without them, we could not take female cadets, so please consider volunteering your time.
