Please consider joining us at the Civil Air Patrol, Fort Drum Composite Squadron, Open House this coming Saturday, September 6, 2025 from 11:00AM to 2:00PM at Watertown International Airport.  Please see the attached flyer for the Open House for more information.
 
The Civil Air Patrol provides an opportunity for young people to learn about and participate in Aircraft Flight, Leadership, Aerospace Education, Search and Rescue, Military Customs and Courtesies, Volunteer Service, and Character Development.  Young people ages 12 through 17 may join the Civil Air Patrol as Cadets and then remain as Cadets until they reach the age of 21.
 
We also have a membership category for teachers, the Aerospace Education Member, that provides educational resources and the potential for participating in an orientation flight in one of our aircraft.
 
Please note, though the Civil Air Patrol is the US Air Force Auxiliary, our mission is not military recruiting.  Participation in the Civil Air Patrol does not obligate anyone to join the military, nor is there pressure to do so.  However, participation in Civil Air Patrol may provide advantages to those who are considering a military career.  The primary mission of the Cadet Program is to grow leaders, educate about aerospace, and make good citizens for the community.  The attached CAP Fact Sheet 2024 provides additional information about the Civil Air Patrol and our Cadet Programs.

Indian River Central School District faculty and staff were back on campus this week! Our opening Superintendent's Day featured updates from our leadership team and community partners, and a performance by keynote speaker Blake Fly, who is on a mission to spread appreciation, gratitude, and fun in unexpected ways that help people build the kinds of relationships that fuel growth and change lives. The rest of the week included faculty gatherings, professional development sessions, open houses, and time for teachers to prepare their rooms to welcome our students back to school.

As a reminder, our schools will be closed from August 29th-September 1st for Labor Day Weekend, and the first day of school for students for the 2025-26 school year is Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025.  We hope you have a relaxing and reinvigorating weekend before the new school year begins.

This year we look forward to celebrating the small moments that make a big impact. We are so excited to welcome our students back to campus on Tuesday! #WeAreIR!
