Welcome to 704 Air Force City Cadet Squadron!
Training Nights are Monday's 6pm to 9pm at Marc Garneau School, 30 Fullerton Avenue, Trenton. Please be prepared to form up at 6pm sharp.
Way to go to both the Drill Team and Band Members who competed this past weekend.
Please pay close attention to the highlighted sections below.
Important Reminders:
#1 - T-Shirts are still available for purchase for $5.00 - Only 1 T-Shirt per cadet.
#2 - Marc Garneau is a nut free school. DO NOT bring any snacks or items containing any type of nut into the school.
#3 - Wear your outdoor shoes to the school and carry your boots. Please put your boots on once you are inside the school.
#4 - Food is ONLY to be eaten in the lobby. NOT in the classrooms.
#5 - Please see CI Mrs. Edie Kendall, if you need to exchange clean uniform items. There is just a little over 2 months until Annual Inspection, check to make sure your uniform fits correctly and exchange items sooner rather than later.
#6 - We are looking for parents willing to donate fresh fruit for the cadets to snack on during break. If you are willing and able, please come into the school on Monday evenings to sign up for a specific date.
#7 - We are always willing to accept cash donations from after you have returned your bottles to the beer store; otherwise our next bottle drive night will be the first Monday for cadets after the May long weekend.
