On 12 September, over 30 NJROTC cadets participated in the 11th Annual Summer Causeway Run and Walk. Tackling a 10K or 5K physical fitness challenge, something most have never attempted, these cadets completed the challenge that started from Port Isabel and ended at South Padre Island. Great job Cadets and never stop breaking your barriers. GO LIBERTY HOUNDS!!!

On 2 September, the NJROTC Cadet Command Team and Staff lead the entire unit in a battle study at the Iwo Jima Memorial at Harlingen, TX. These cadets did an outstanding job in leading six different discussion groups spread out across the memorial, with topics including the familiarization of Weslaco native Cpl Harlon Block (who now rests near the monument), the multiple landing beaches at Iwo Jima, the terrain, and enemy composition found on the island during World War II. Bravo Zulu (BZ) to Cadets Penelope Limon, Melanie Balli, Penelope Ruiz, Heber Hernandez, Migdalia Morales, Jasmine Pedraza, Jose Contreras, and Emma Sarabia for their research and topic discussions, as well as the cadet Chiefs and Petty Officers who supported this effort.
