Sterling NJROTC Winter Ball

Sterling NJROTC Winter Ball

On February 9, 2013, the Sterling NJROTC program held their winter ball at Auletto Caterers. It was definitely a night to remember. There were many guests in attendance; the president of the school board, Mrs. Caramiello, the new Superintendent of Sterling High, Mr. Bathurst, The Principal of Sterling, Mr. Napoleon, Vice-Principal, Mr. Redman, and many other well respected faculty members of Sterling High School.

            Furthermore, the annual winter ball was a night to remember. At the ball, the cadets of the NJROTC program had the opportunity of getting to practice a formal reception line and naval traditions. There was excellent food, great service, and it was a great night to share memories, laughs, and the dance floor with Senior Chief when he decided to “boogie.”

We had a guest speaker; a former graduate of Sterling High and also a former Commanding Officer of the unit, Mr. Camburn. He told us, “Put your best effort into the unit. The more you put into it, the more you will personally get out of it. And you should always have a backup plan for the backup plan.” All in all it was a fantastic event.
