Military Appreciation Night at Friday's Football Game
 For over a century, Roxbury High School graduates have answered our nation's call to defend our freedom, to aid our friends and allies, and to turn back aggressors. Numerous young men and women have traded in the navy blue and gold of the Gaels for the colors of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. They have brought honor and distinction upon themselves and made their school, community, and nation proud.
Roxbury's home football game against Parsippany Hills High School on September 22nd at 7:00 p.m. has been designated as Military Appreciation Night. All members of America's Armed Services both active and retired will receive free admission to the game.

Roxbury resident Tyler Boyd led the session, walking the group through cross-training and military-style exercises, including fireman's carries, wheel barrels, planks, body drags, and bear crawls.
