Odd Jobs and Carnival Update

Just an update:
     The official December meeting is on Wednesday, December 14th. NOT right after school. We will be meeting together at 6:00 PM to go out and do odd jobs as a group. We would love for everyone to come.
     We need just a few volunteers to help the officers run the booth at the carnival on Friday, December 16th from 4:30 to 8:00, or just as long as you can stay. Please contact either Mrs Blattman or any of the officers if you can help.

     Also pertaining to the carnival: we need some volunteers to make and donate some yummy treats that we can have set out at our booth, even if you can't actually be there. If you want to make something, or even just donate cooking supplies to the officers to make them, please contact us ASAP. Thanks!

Hearts of Gold Activities

We've had a couple people asking about NHS meetings for December, so here we go:

Hearts of Gold activies that will count for NHS are as follows:

1. Odd jobs on Wednesday, the 14th. This will take the place of our regular meeting. Meet at 6:00 to go out with the group.

2. Cake auction on Thursday, the 15th. We need 2 cakes, one for each lunch. If you would like to make one, please let Ms. Blattman know as soon as possible.

3. Carnival on Friday, the 16th. This activity is from 5 to 8 pm. We need people to help with our booth.

 

It would be awesome if you all attended AT LEAST one of these Hearts of Gold activites, but feel free to participate in as many as you can.

 

Get out there and serve!

Awesome Service Opportunity

For anyone who is interested:
St Andrews Elementary School is asking for tutors who could come in once or twice a week to help students in reading and math. They would like you to commit to coming regularly so that the kids can bond with you and therefore make their learning experience more enjoyable. The program will begin in January and starts at 3:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  You will need your own transportation to the school, which is on 118th by the District.  If you are interested, come see Ms. Blattman so she can let the school know.

Christmastime is Coming. . .

Hey, all!
      Last meeting was a huge success, thanks to all who attended. We ended up splitting off into three different service groups. Some of us went and cleaned all of the lovely spiderwebs off of the main office windows; some distributed the new recylcling bins to every classroom; and the rest of us made Christmas cards and ornaments for all of the teachers in the school.

Making the Christmas Cards and Ornaments

      Please remember to keep coming to all the meetings that you can. Every little bit helps!

      There is not an official meeting for December. Instead, we encourage you all to participate in the Hearts of Gold activities throughout the month. On December 14th, the officers will be distributing the Christmas cards and ornaments that we made last week to the teachers. If a couple of people want to come and help us, they are welcome, but we do not need 40 people passing out cards.
      Remember to be working on your total service hours for the year. You need a total of AT LEAST 8 hours, 4 with the group. This number is not a maximum, but a minimum. It is always good to do more than the lowest requirement.

      So, until December 14th! Remember to smile big :D

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

    

October Meeting Update

ATTENTION:
The meeting for October is on October 12th after school in RM 2516. We are still doing a food drive for the Utah Food Bank, but we won't actually be going there, sorry for the confusion. We will collect food items in the commons each morning for two weeks, from Wednesday, September 28th to Wednesday, October 12th. Our meeting on the 12th will be boxing and sorting the food collected. Encourage everyone you know to participate by bringing in at least two cans. If all HHS students and staff bring in two cans each we will have 4000 food items! Think of how many people we can help feed this holiday season. :)
THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN PREVIOUSLY POSTED!
