Everyone needs to make sure they have the required service hours done by May 9th. If they are not completed then your membership is dropped for the following year. Seniors must have the documented hours in order to get the graduation collar.
 
Also: the HHS Counselors have gotten requests for student tutors in Math, English, and Science. If you are interested, go and speak with either Ms Blattman or the counselors ASAP. (hint: this is a good opportunity to get those last few hours for NHS credit if you are behind. . .) 
 
Just keep on being awesome! :D

Yearbook Picture!

ATTENTION!!! The yearbook will be taking the official NHS group photo right after school on Wednesday, Feb 8th. Everyone please meet in Ms. Blattman's room as soon as possible on that day and tell everyone that you know is in NHS. This will be a one take only; anyone NOT in the picture on Wednesday will NOT be in the picture in the yearbook. Following the picture will be our normal service activity, probably something for the preschool. Hope to see you all there! :D
