Thanks Everyone!

Thank You, everyone who was at the Food Bank service activity today. It was super fun!!! For those of you too lame to show up (you know who you are . . .), the rest of us drove down to the Utah Food bank right after school and helped pack care-boxes to send out to shelters. They had rice snacks, spaghetti noodles, canned foods, and tons of other stuff. We formed a conveyor belt style line and just stormed our way through, filling up at least three 3x4x2 panels of boxes. Good Job, you guys!
Next month's activity is our long-anticipated Induction Ceremony!!! Huzzah! You all should be receiving an invitation in the mail (unless you never gave us your address or never turned in your club permission form, which is mega-important by-the-way; you won't recieve any recognition or get any awards or credit for being in NHS if we don't have that piece of paper!!!). It is in the evening on Wednesday, March 9th, at 6:30 in the Tech Atrium. It is a ceremony, so please dress nicely (as in no jeans or T-shirts) and your parents are encouraged to come. There will be light refreshments afterward.
If you have any suggestions for future service activities, either for later this year or for next year, please post them in a comment or just talk to one of the officers. We are trying to come up with new and fun service projects and would appreciate your input! :D

Semester Two!!! Hooray!!!

Hello, All!
So, our last activity went great, and many thanks to all of you who came. For those of you who were unable to attend, we ended up doing odd jobs for the preschool, coloring pictures, cutting stuff out, etc.
SOPHMORES!!!! Your time is finally here!!! All sophmores who want to join NHS need to go to Ms Blattman's room, upstairs in Rm 2516 and get the Club permission form. Get it signed, pay the $15 fee to the main office, and take the receipt and the form back upstairs and turn them in pronto! The qualifications for this organization can be seen in the right side bar of this page; the only exception is that those joining at the 2nd semester only have to complete 4 service hours for the year, rather than 8 like the rest of the members from the beginning of the year. Meetings are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month in Ms Blattman's room unless otherwise stated. We hope to see you all there!
The next activity is going to be on Tuesday, February 15th; This is a different date than previously posted. We are going to be volunteering at the Food Bank. Very Important: Buses will not be provided. If you are going to be carpooling with other students, you need to pick up and fill out a Travel Form and turn it in BEFORE the meeting; otherwise, you will need to drive yourself. This is going to be super fun, and we hope all of you will make an effort to be there. It really is a great experience.
Another Heads-Up: Our official Induction Ceremony will be in the evening on March 9th. It's really important that everyone is there, so plan accordingly.

Happy Holidays!

Sorry that it's been a while since the last update; things have been a little hectic lately.

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 12th, after school in Ms Blattman's room, Rm 2516. We will be doing odd jobs for the teachers, helping them finish up at the end of the quarter.
February's meeting will be on Wednesday the 9th, also after school. We will be going to the Food Bank to help out there with whatever they have for us to do. There will not be a bus, so you will have to pick up a travel form in order to carpool with other members. Please plan ahead; we look forward to seeing everyone there!

Sophmores!!! The time for you is nearly here! You will be able to join at the beginning of second semester, in time to come to the Feb. service at the Food Bank. Remember that there is a $15 fee required, take your receipt to Ms Blattman, again upstairs in Rm 2516. The other requirements for participation in National Honor Society are listed to the right of this page. We are super excited to have you come with us. It's going to be great fun. :D

Just a heads up: The official Induction Ceremony is going to be in the evening on Wednesday, March 9th. We expect everyone to be there, so keep that night free on your calendars. There will be more specific information available as the date draws nearer.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Looking forward to seeing you all in January!

Welcome!

Last week was the first NHS meeting, where we elected officers and then spent time in the library helping to set up tables and organize boxes of books. For any Juniors or Seniors that missed that first meeting it's not too late to join! Go and see Ms Blattman upstairs in room 2516 to get set with everything that you need. Sophmores, your time has not yet come. Sophmores are required to be a student at Herriman High for one semester before they may join NHS. Sophmores who join after first semester only are required to complete 4 service hours for the year, instead of the usual 8 (See 'Qualifications' in side-bar).

Remember! You are not considered a full member of NHS until you pay the mandatory $15 fee to the main office and give the receipt to Ms Blattman.

Activities will always be on the second Wednesday of every month, unless otherwise specified. The first real activity will be on Wednesday, October 13 after school in Ms Blattman's room. We will be decorating encouraging posters to put up around the school, so come prepared with inspiring quotes and/or sayings! :D
