This year's Fall Festival, hosted by ANAPA at Maffucci Field, was filled with fun and friendly competition. The Cadets enjoyed activities like bull riding, tug of war, dunk tanks, obstacle courses, car smash, soccer darts, and more! Teams competed for prizes, aiming to win the Company Champion Belt and the Spirit Award for the loudest cheering section. The field was buzzing with excitement as everyone joined in on the action. It was a memorable day of laughs, team spirit, and a bit of healthy rivalry. We are already looking forward to next year's festival!

Bullying Stand Down

In our commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive environment, and adhering to the Army and Navy Academy No Bullying policy, we will be holding a Bullying Stand Down event on Friday, November 8th. This program aims to educate students on the impacts of bullying, promote respectful interactions, and provide resources for those who may be affected. It’s a powerful opportunity for everyone to stand together, united against bullying, and support a positive academy culture

 

Late Pick-Up
Please note that due to this event, students will need to be picked up later than usual. We expect the event to conclude by 3:00 p.m., so please arrange transportation accordingly.

 

Thank you for your support in helping create a safer and more respectful environment for our students. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
