November Meeting

     The November meeting will take place after school on Wednesday, November 9th. We will ultimately be splitting off into three different service groups, but will all meet in RM 2516 at the beginning as usual. Please be On Time (as in definitely no later than 2:40) so that we can get started as soon as possible and you will know which group you will be serving with.
     There is only one week left that the NHS will be accepting new members. If you have not turned in your money ($15) and both forms signed by the end of the quarter (November 3rd), you are out of luck and will have to wait until second semester starts. So get your stuff turned in and remind your friends.
     Sophomores: Just a reminder that you have to be a student enrolled in HHS for a full semester before you can join NHS, so you can come at the beginning of third quarter, but not any sooner.
     Here is the result of the Canned Food Drive that we had earlier this month. While every little bit definitely helps, we were slightly disappointed that we weren't able to collect any more. We hope that in future collection drives, we get more participation.

Remember to Smile!

     Hey all, thanks so much for coming last meeting and working so hard. :D For those who were unable to attend, we ended up not collecting enough canned food to make it worth an entire meeting organizing and boxing them, so we did a service activity for the preschool instead. We made different matching game folders by coloring and cutting out printed activities and pasting them into manilla folders. The kids will love them!

Making the activity folders
     As of now, the November meeting is scheduled for right after school on Wednesday, November 9th. The service activity is yet to be decided. Put it on your calendars and be sure to come on time and ready to serve!
     If anyone still needs to turn in any of the forms or pay the $15 fee, you are late! Once first quarter ends, you are out of luck, so get those papers turned in!
     Other than that, just be making sure you have a handle on your service hours! Don't put it off until fourth quarter, you will regret it. Remember that you need eight full hours of approved service, if you are unsure if a certain out-of-school activity will count toward your hours, just feel free to ask. There are often extra service opportunities around the school, so feel free to ask about those as well.
     Have a great day and remember to smile! :D
