Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Graduation is a lifetime memory, often remembered by the caps and robes worn on this special occasion. Students have the opportunity to display their achievements on this special day.

Help my high school senior cadets celebrate their NJROTC completion and achievements by making NJROTC graduation stoles, also known as sashes, possible as they walk the aisle to receive diplomas.

My senior cadets are excited about possibly wearing NJROTC stoles over their robes. They plan to have each classmate sign them after graduation to preserve their memories as NJROTC cadets. Please consider making this memory possible.
