New Year!!

Welcome back fellow National Honor Society members and a warm welcome to everyone who is new. I hope everyone had a great summer and is excited to be back. Our first meeting is this week on Wednesday, September 12th after school in Ms. Blattman's room 2516. Everyone is welcome to come and spread the word to anyone else who is interested in joining NHS.

Also, do not forget to get a NHS club permission form from Ms. Blattman's room and pay a $15 dollar fee in the office. Once you get the form signed and get a receipt, bring them both back to Ms. Blattman ASAP.

There will be a sign-in sheet at each meeting that you need to sign. This will happen at every meeting and that is how we know who came. I hope to see you all there for a great activity!

Thanks Everyone for a Great Year!

Congratulations to next year's elected officers!

We're sure they'll be amazing at everything! :D

And now we'd like to thank you, dedicated National Honor Society members of Herriman High, for a fantastic year! We've had a lot of fun and helped a lot of people. Don't let the end of the school year mean an end to the fabulous service you have been doing. There are always opportunities to serve, from a smile to a fundraiser, to helping out at a homeless shelter; all you have to do is look.

Food Drive Activity CANCELLED

Unfortunately, the Food Drive Activity that was planned for this Friday, April 20th is now CANCELLED. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please spread the word.

 

     If you want to participate in the flower planting activity then you will have to bring your own hand trowel to dig. This will be on Wednesday, April 25th after school. Meet in room 2516 first.

 

     Lots of help is needed for the Senior Awards Dinner on Monday, May 7th. This is our final service activity for the year. Please sign up if you can help serve. There are 2 hour time slots: 5:30 to 7:30 and 7:00 to 9:00 (the last group will be on clean up as well. It shouldn't go all the way until 9.)

 

     Our last meeting is Wednesday, May 9th. This will be for election of next year's officers. If you are interested in running for an office, please come sign up in Ms. Blattman's room. This meeting is also to turn in your final service hours. Seniors especially need to make sure they have completed their hours so they can pick up the graduation collar. Bring a check for $20. If you turn the collar back in at graduation then the check will be given back to you.

     Finally, Herriman will be sponsoring the Special Olympics this year. The dates are June 7, 8, and 9. There will be baseball, softball, track and soccor events. If you would like to help out please sign up! This is a huge event and 1700 volunteers are needed.

NHS members will be excused at 2:00 to catch the bus in front of the school. We will be back around 5:15 pm. (Just in case our bus is not approved we will need drivers to carpool.)

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
