Two Rogers students will attend Junior ROTC camp
Cadets Robert Gerbing and Daniel Lindell were recently selected from the Air Force Junior ROTC unit at Rogers High School to attend AFJROTC Aerospace & Technology Honors Camp at Arizona State University.
Gerbing and Lindell will be visiting air and space operational sites, research labs and museums, attend lectures from general officers, astronauts and pilots, and participate in simulator and airplane rides.
Each camp is held on a college campus with an Air Force ROTC detachment.
Those selected must have a minimum grade-point average of 3.0, be a rising sophomore, junior or senior, enrolled in college-prep math and science courses, have demonstrated leadership potential and be a U.S. citizen. Fifty cadets are selected from AFROTC units around the world to attend each of 10 camps for a total of 500 cadets out of a total of 104,000.
Humane Society food drive
Cadets from Rogers AFJROTC will host their second annual pet food drive Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Cadets will be collecting pet food, cat litter, bleach, paper towels and money donations for the Humane Society at PetCo, Francis and Division; Northwest Seed and Pet, 7302 N. Division St.; Tidyman’s, 6405 N. Addison St.; and Safeway, 933 E. Mission Ave.
“You Can’t Take It With You”
The eccentric Sycamore family takes the stage in the St. George’s School production of “You Can’t Take It with You.” Their philosophy that people should do whatever makes them happy is a recipe for comic mayhem. So while Mother writes plays and Father makes fireworks in the basement, their daughter Alice tries to explain her unconventional family to her conventional prospective in-laws.
Directed by Jeanne Hardie, performances are at 7 tonight and Friday in Founders Theater on the school campus, 2929 W. Waikiki Road. All performances are free.
An added attraction is the opening of an art exhibit of ceramic works, paintings and drawings by St. George’s high school students in the school’s Gilbert Art Gallery. An opening reception for the exhibit will be at 6 p.m. Friday. The exhibit runs through April 15.
