Looking Ahead

As the school year winds down, these are the remaining meetings for NHS. If you still are in need of more service hours, these are the last opportunities to get them. We hope to see you there!

Thursday, April 4th, 15 students needed to judge science fair at Daybreak Elementary. You will leave the school at 12:45 and be back at 2:25. You must have your own transportation. You will receive two service hours for this activity. Sign up in room 2516.

Wednesday, April 10th, regular meeting after school, room 2516.

Wednesday, May 8th, final meeting, election of officers for next year. Outside service hours will be turned in. Seniors with all their service hours completed will bring a check for $20 for the NHS collar for graduation. The check will be returned at graduation when the collar is turned back in.

*updated* Monday, May 13th , The administration has asked NHS to provide servers for the Senior Award Night dinner. This will be your final opportunity to get group service hours. You can come for the entire night (about 5 to 9). You can come and serve ( 5 to 7) Or you can come for the clean up ( 7 to 8:30). Lots of help will be needed. You will need to dress nice (but no heels for the girls). So come out that Monday to the cafeteria and help out! Let Ms. Blattman know if you can help!

Spreading the Love

Alright, we have many activities this February that you can all be a part of. Make sure to at least sign up for one thing this month and remind your friends to check the blog and come to the activities. For any questions, feel free to ask Ms. Blattman or any of the officers.

1. On Wednesday, February 13 we will have our usual meeting. We will be doing a Valentines Day activity in Ms. Blattman's room right after school. Be sure to come, especially because we will take a group picture for the yearbook. Spread the word so that all members can be in the picture.

2. Also on Wednesday, February 13 will be Sophmore orientation. If you want to help hand out packets for next years sophmores then sign up in Ms. Blattmans room for a time. It will go on from 4:30 to 7:30 pm but you only have to be there for an hour.

3. On Wednesday, February 27 we need members to come help at parent teacher conference. We will be helping parents take an online survey when they come in to the building. We will be needing lots of help for this one so do not forget to sign up in Ms. Blattman's room for a time slot. Parent teacher confernces will go from 12:00 to 8:00 pm.

December Activities

Hello National Honor Society members!

We're sure you're all aware that December is a busy time for the entire school as we find ourselves involved in various activities surrounding Hearts of Gold. We encourage you to participate in any way you can. It's for a good cause!

Along with that thought, there will not be a regular second Wednesday meeting this month. Instead, we are going to get NHS involved with Hearts of Gold. Service hours for December will come from participating in our night for Odd Jobs. That night is Friday, December 14. We will have a roll available to sign that night for those of you in attendance so that you can receive credit for your service hours.

If you cannot come that night, fear not. There is another option to get service hours logged with NHS this month. The Hearts of Gold community carnival is on Wednesday, December 12. You may sign up in Ms. Blattman's room to help at the carnival. NHS will not have a booth, but students who sign-up will help the Student Body Officers and Class officers with anything they made need help with during the carnival. Students who sign-up need to meet the SBO's in the commons at 5 p.m. that night.

Remember that service is one of the pillars of National Honor Society and recognize there are many opportunities to serve this month. Please do not limit yourselves to those service activities that we are doing in our organization. Get out and make an effort to make this holiday a happy one for someone else. We appreciate you and look forward to serving with you soon.
