Welcome to all cadets—new and returning! We look forward to

an exciting year filled with academics, athletics and activities!

The Activities Office has a full slate of activities and events

planned, both on and off campus. We encourage all cadets to

balance their time at FUMA with hard work, community service,

some play and rest. I encourage you to consider and participate in

the many clubs and activities offered throughout the school year.

We have a Social Center on campus located in Vaughn Hall for

upper school cadets. During operational hours, there are Xbox

video games, arcade games, pool, ping-pong, air hockey, fooz ball,

board games, and cards. Drinks, snacks and candy are available for

purchase. Cadets with 60 demerits or less can enjoy the Social

Center.

The following page of this newsletter outlines the many clubs and

community service opportunities that are available to our cadets.

Once a month, cadets will receive an Activities Newsletter by

email, highlighting upcoming events along with photos and write-

ups on happenings from the previous month. Please share this

newsletter with your family.

Cadets will also receive email notifications of upcoming events—

so check your cadet email often.

All activities that have limited space will require an advance sign-

up. Each sign-up will have a DEADLINE DATE (new this year) by

which you need to sign-up and pay, if applicable, for the activity.

The Activities Office is located in the Commandant Department,

first floor of Jacobson Hall. Office hours are Monday through

Friday, 8am-4pm. Be sure to stop by, say hello and sign-up for an

activity! Mrs. Reese, Activities Coordinator
