Our next meeting will be after school on Wednesday, April 13th. We will be working on assembling hygiene kits for disaster victims in Japan, as well as other places in need around the globe. To make this happen, we will need lots of donations. Here are the things that are required to be in each individual kit:
- 2 unbreakeable combs (no sharp handles)
- 4 still-packaged toothbrushes
- 1 tube of toothpaste (6-8 oz., no pumps)
- 2 bars of soap (4-5 oz)
- 2 hand towels (new towels, approximately 15" by 25". Please do not bring dish towels or washcloths. To sew a towel, serge or zigzag the edges of terry cloth to make a 15" by 25" towel.)
Please bring in as many of these items as you can, and encourage all of your friends, family, and neighbors to help. Just bring them in (preferably before the meeting) to Ms Blattman's room. Thanks!
Need extra service hours?!?!?! During both lunches every day for the next couple weeks, the NHS has been given permission to collect money donations from students for the earthquake hygiene kits. Anyone in NHS can go to Ms Blattman at the beginning of lunch and get one of the large collection bottles, walk around during lunch collecting money, and return it to her at the end of lunch. You will get half an hour of service time each lunch you help.
The meeting in May will be on Wednesday, May 11th. In addition to a small activity (yet to be decided), we will be electing officers for next year. SENIORS: if you want to have an NHS collar to wear at graduation in June, you have to bring $20 to this meeting. If you want to return it to the school after graduation, you will get your money back. Otherwise, you get to keep the collar forever. :D
Seniors again: Make sure you are getting all of your service hours done. Of the three grade levels in NHS, you are failing in attendance to the monthly meetings.
Reminder for EVERYONE: you all need to sign the roll at each meeting, or you won't get credit counting toward your service hours with the group, which you need four of (except sophmores, you guys only need two.)
Thanks for being so awesome, you guys! Have a wonderful day! :D
