Important Adopt-a-Family Update

Canned Food Drive is on tomorrow. Everyone who has bought and wrapped presents, please drop them off at Alex Flentje's house by tonight, or at the school at 7 AM tomorrow morning!!! Check your email for the address, and also numbers to call for any questions.

Adopt-a-family Updates

Hi NHS.

Talking to Alex Flentje, and we still don't know too much about how the canned food drive is going to pan out. I will let you know what to do with your gifts as I get more information, because I think we're still trying to make this thing happen. In the meantime, PLEASE make sure that your gifts are wrapped, labelled by family name, number, gender, and age, and separated into bags by family! This will make it a whole lot easier when we get down to crunch time.

Adopt-a-family Snow Day

Hi NHS

Happy Snow Day tomorrow! But here's the deal: since we don't have school tomorrow, people need to bring in their ALREADY WRAPPED AND LABELLED GIFTS for adopt-a-family on Tuesday morning, ASAP. Please wrap them nicely, separate the gifts into bags by family, and label the bags and all packages by family number, name, and girl/boy+ age, if possible.

Thanks, and please email or check the blog for questions.

Adopt-a-Family Inclement Weather Plans

Hi NHS

Because of the Blizzard Weather, we are aware that there may not be school on Monday. If this is the case, please bring the presents, already WRAPPED and LABELLED and separated by families to school on Tuesday. Any questions, contact the officers or sponsors

Adopt-a-Family Giftwrapping Updates

Hi NHS!

Happy Blizzarding Season :)

Just a reminder that Adopt-a-family gifts are due to Madame's room on Monday, Dec 21st. We will be wrapping them after school on Monday and Tuesday, so come and help, because we need all the help we can get!

If you are coming to wrap, please bring a roll of wrapping paper and perhaps some scotch tape. With all of the renovations and such, a lot of the NHS wrapping paper was thrown out. So please bring some!

A reminder to the buyers: keep your receipts and use ALL the money allotted on the children. If you do happen to have money left over, please put it back in the envelope and hand it back in. We need all the receipts for bookkeeping purposes. Also, please separate families into bags by number/family name.

Be careful shopping this weekend in the winter weather! If by chance we do not have school on Monday/Tues, I will give you an email update as to what to do!

Adopt-a-Family Money Reminder

Hi NHS

Just a reminder that Adopt-a-family donations are due to Stuart Russell by tomorrow, Dec 17. Please give cash if at all possible, since the money needs to be distributed the following day. If you absolutely need to write a check, make it out to Mount Hebron High School (NOT Mount Hebron NHS).

What Counts for Hours?

Hi NHS,

Just a little bit of info for you all...

I hope by this point you all understand "in" versus "out" of school hours. I.e. "in" hours are when you volunteer for anything that I have sent you emails about, that the NHS board is directly involved in (holiday giftwrap, adopt-a-family, secret shoppes, 5K, etc). "Out" hours are anything that you do on your own time, as long as there is a sponsor there (volunteering through church, raking your neighbor's yard for no pay, etc)

Double Counting: a reminder that hours cannot be double counted. This means that if you are participating in another organization which requires community service, or you are being paid for your services, you cannot count these hours toward NHS. For example, leadership students should not count canned food-drive for NHS, language honors societies should not double count their tutoring hours for NHS, and anyone getting paid to babysit etc cannot count those hours toward NHS.

Hope this clears up everything, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hours from December 14

Hi all, I hope the panic from the last meeting has subsided by now!

As of this moment, all hours completed prior to last meeting, December 8, and not turned into me will not be accepted. All hours between December 8 and our next meeting must be turned in at the January meeting in order to count towards your service hours.

Some friendly reminders:

-The person you tutor is not a valid "sponsor" from whom you can receive your signature. You must get a supervising adult (e.g. the librarian, a teacher, your tutee's parent) to sign your hours log sheet.

-You must complete at least ten service hours (either in or out) by the end of first semester in order to remain a member in good standing. Seniors, this is especially important for you!

-Great hours opportunities in the next two weeks: shopping for Adopt-A-Family gifts, gift wrapping the Adopt-A-Family gifts, and raising at least $25. Each of these activities counts towards one in-school service hour!

And now...on with the hours.

MALL Giftwrap vs Adopt a Family Giftwrap

Hi NHS,

there has recently been some confusion over Mall Giftwrap assignments, as well as Mall Giftwrap versus Hebron Adopt-a-family Giftwrap. So, to clear up some things:

The Mall Giftwrap is a totally separate service opportunity than the Adopt-a-family Giftwrap. Near the end of November I had you sign up for Mall Giftwrap time slots, in which you report to the Columbia Mall and help holiday shoppers wrap their purchases.

I have the following people assigned to giftwrap at the mall:

Dec 17, 6-10
Kate Appel

Dec 21, 6:30-11
Kerrie Uthoff
Becca Stanford

The Hebron Adopt-a-family Giftwrap coincides with SGA's canned food drive. On the 18th after school, the people who signed up to go shop will report to Madame Clem's room (105) to receive their money and family assignments to go shop on their own time over the weekend. These gifts will then be delivered to Madame's room on Monday, Dec 21st, and will be wrapped at school in the same room that week (of the 21st). No need to sign up for this giftwrap, just show up.

Hope this clears up everything, and sorry for the confusion. Let me know if you have any more questions, and don't forget to document your hours!

Final Information for Adopt-a-Family

Hi NHS

Unfortunately, due to the lack of feedback, we have decided to cancel the Bowl-a-thon that was supposed to be scheduled for next Tuesday, December 8th. There will still be a meeting right after school December 8th.

Please check your email for a pledge sheet for the Annual Adopt-a-Family program. Please read carefully as it outlines everything from money raising to gift-buying to gift-wrapping. There are many of you that have already requested to sign up to go shopping, which is wonderful (we still need all of you and more!) and I will be passing out a sign-up sheet for shopping on Tuesday. So even if you have emailed me about shopping, you need to formally sign up at the meeting.

Remember, with over a hundred families to help, we're trying to do as much as possible! Read and print those pledge sheets, and return the money and pledge sheets to Stuart Russell by December 17th.

As always, check the blog for updates and don't hesitate to email me with questions.

Secret Shoppe at SJLES

Hello NHS,

Here's another service opp, this time from Saint Johns Lane Elementary School. It's basically the same thing as Worthington's Secret Shoppe, and on the same date/times.

December 5; shifts are 8:30-10:30, 10:30-12, 12-2. I have the most availability in the 10:30-12 and 12-2 slots. Please let me know if any of you are interested by emailing mthnhs@gmail.com with your name and phone number, as well as which shift you'd like

Becky Yep

Holiday Money-Raising

Hi NHS

Regardless of whether or not you are able to participate in the Bowl-a-thon (although please sign up if you haven't already!) we would like ALL members to participate in holiday service; i.e. raising money for the needy families helped by SGA.

There are lots of ways to help, so get started! Raising a certain amount of money (say, $25) will get you a SMALL amount of hours (we encourage you to raise as much money as possible, but we don't want you "buying" NHS hours, so we cap the hours)

Also consider shopping with your NHS friends on a free weekend. If you volunteer to do so, you will be responsible for buying gifts for the children of the needy families. We'll provide the money and the information about the families; you just need to get a group of NHS friends, find time, and go shop.

You can also sign up to giftwrap after school. If you're interested, let me know and I'll set up some dates after school, after we buy some of the gifts.

Check your email and the blog for updates!
Becky Yep

Bowl-a-thon

Hi NHS!

Here's an opportunity we were talking about at the last meeting: a National Honor Society Bowl-a-thon to raise money for the gifts for the children of the Canned-Food-Drive.

We need around twenty volunteers to come and bowl for a few hours and getting sponsors to pledge money.

Normandy Bruinswick Bowling Alley on Route 40
$8 per person
includes 2 games plus shoes
Tuesday, December 8th from 3-5 (we'll leave straight from the NHS meeting)

NHS, it's a fun opportunity for you and to help a good cause! Consider signing up! When I get a list of people I'll send out some more information about the raising money part.

Thanks

As you guys accumulate out-of-school hours, remember that only 10 of those service hours count toward your total NHS hours. You still need to get at least 10 in-school hours in by the end of second semester!

Also, if you have already turned in a note for a service opportunity, PLEASE do not turn in another note for that opportunity or put those hours on your hours sheet! (Ex: if you got a group note for an NHS event like the Multicultural Fair, please don't put the fair on your hours log sheet, too.) That can be terribly confusing for yours truly.

As always, if you have any questions regarding your hours, feel free to send me an email!

Check your email for more information! If you AREN'T receiving the emails, send your name, grade, and email address to mthnhs@gmail.com. You should get a confirmation email in return.

In addition, anyone not attending the meeting today MUST have a note of excused absence in the box in Madame's room by the end of the week.

November Meeting Reminder

Worthington Elementary School Holiday Secret Shoppe

Hey NHS!

New service opportunity just in from Ms. Kim Bolton- they need volunteers at the annual Worthington Elementary School Holiday Secret Shoppe. I believe we had people go last year, and from what I understand, you'll basically walk kids around a little "market" in their gym as they "shop" for little presents for their parents for the holidays.

Worthington Elementary School
Saturday, December 5
Two Shifts: 10-12, 12-2
Eight volunteers per shift

Contact person: Kim Bolton, 410-750-2702
bolton51@verizon.net

oh yeah, and they'll serve you pizza once you're done! Please volunteer!

Also, a couple of reminders:
Our next meeting is next Tuesday, Nov 10 right after school in the cafeteria. Attendance is mandatory, and remember to pick up a new hours sheet before you leave!

Seniors not-in-good-standing (those with negative hours from last year): if you have any hours you haven't turned in, get them in ASAP. And continue to make up those hours! Those seniors with negative hours will be reviewed within the next couple of weeks, and may likely be dismissed if conditions don't improve.

Be sure to be checking the blog for regular updates!

Becky Yep

Hours Due

Just a reminder to those seniors who still have negative hours... the marking period ends this week! If you have any hours you haven't turned in, get them in ASAP! Those members who currently have negative hours from last year (and thus are currently "not in good standing") are likely to be reviewed and/or potentially dismissed from NHS if they do not make up those hours by the end of this marking period.

Also, a reminder that we have a meeting after school next Tuesday, November 10, in the cafeteria.

Hey NHS, as far as I know, not many people have volunteered for this holiday giftwrap at the mall in Columbia this December. I have to get volunteers FIRST and then call the mall and reserve our spots, so please sign up ASAP!

More information about the Viking Backers Liaison position has been sent in an email.

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested!

SENIORS: GUARANTEED SCHOLARSHIP!

Attention All NHS Senior Members!
You have been guaranteed a $50,000 scholarship!

Washington College in Chestertown, MD, has guaranteed a minimum scholarship of $50,000 ($12,500 annually for four years) to any NHS member admitted and choosing to attend their university. So, something to keep in mind, if you are planning on attending Washington College! Any questions, email mthnhs@gmail.com, or email the VP of Washington College Admissions directly, Kevin Coveney at: kcoveney2@washcoll.edu

Hours from October 16

Hi everyone, here are some updated hours. Be sure to check your hours status on the spreadsheet, which can be found by following the link on the sidebar.

Returning seniors, please stop by Mme. Clem's room to pick up an official hours log. We're doing a new system this year, where you will log all of your service hours for one month on the log and then turn your logs in to me at the next month's meeting. No more individual notes per service opportunity (although that is an perfectly fine substitution if you don't have your official log on you.) We're trying to make our hours collection process a bit more streamlined this year.

If you have any questions about obtaining/logging your hours, feel free to send me questions at grace.freund@gmail.com.

Service Opportunity: Holiday Giftwrapping!

Hey NHS, here's a great opportunity that we have participated in during years past. It's lots of fun and really helps the public during the holiday season.

Holiday Gift Wrap at the Columbia Shopping Mall- basically you stand at a table for a couple of hours and help people wrap their holiday gifts. No big deal! :)

The dates are broken up into several four-hour shifts. The shifts run: 10-2, 2-6, 6-10

Dates:
Friday, Dec 4 (need two volunteers per shift)
Saturday, Dec 5 (4 volunteers/shift)
Wed, Dec 9 (4 volunteers/shift)
Friday, Dec 11 (6 volunteers/shift)
Saturday, Dec 12 (8 volunteers/shift)
Wed, Dec 16 (8 Volunteers/shift)
Thurs, Dec 17 (8 volunteers/shift)
Fri, Dec 18 (8 volunteers/shift)

For Sat, Dec 19 (10 volunteers/shift) and Mon, Dec 21 (8 volunteers/shift), the shifts are: 9-1:30, 1:30-6:30, 6:30-11

I know that this is a long way away, but please get those hours in and sign up! This is something that we volunteer for every year; it's a lot of fun and an easy way to cumulative a lot of hours. I need to get a preliminary head count, so let me know if you're interested!

October Meeting Wrap-up

Hi everyone, thanks for coming to the meeting today. I know things can get a little hectic, but I'm glad we were able to work most of everything out. A few highlights for all members:

$5 dues are due to treasurer Stuart Russell by November's meeting. At the next meeting we will be increasing the amount past $5, so get those in!

If anyone was at the meeting and did not sign an email sheet, you need to email mthnhs@gmail.com for two purposes: so we know you were there and so we have your email addresses. We are in the process of updating the email distribution list (although it will take a while, there are over 100 of you!) so expect to be getting emails soon. If you don't receive emails within the next couple of weeks, it means that your email address was illegible and has bounced back, and that you must email mthnhs@gmail.com to be put on the list

any and all Patapsco Scholastic Saturday forms leftover need to be returned to me ASAP, please and thank you

If anyone would like a new cheat-sheet or the formal hours document, see Madame in room 105

questions, comments? mthnhs@gmail.com

thanks guys!

The first NHS meeting of the new school year will be directly after school tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8th in the cafeteria. We will be discussing new service opportunities and the upcoming NHS Induction Ceremony on October 7th.

-Stuart Russell

Hi everybody, happy second week of summer :) Alright, so I've been sending nagging emails about this service opportunity, but now I have final details...

89th Annual Montgomery General Hospital Picnic and Bazaar
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
10AM-8PM
Located on the Corner of Prince Philip Drive and Route 108 in Olney (in front of the old hospital in Montgomery County, about 20 minutes from Columbia)
Volunteers will be asked to spend one or more two hour shifts outside, either working at antique/bazaar booths, in Kiddie Land, or the food stands
Volunteers should dress casually, prepared for heat, and should report to the yellow tent provided by Sandy Spring Bank at the beginning and end of their volunteer period to receive jobs and credit for hours. You will contact either Joyce Saunderson or Sunny Banvard.

Here's how we're going to break things up: As far as I know, they need as many volunteers as possible throughout the entire day. So, we're going to split up the 10 hour time frame into 5 two-hour shifts-please volunteer for a specific shift(s) when you reply. The shifts are:
10AM-12 noon
12-2PM
2-4PM
4-6PM
6-8PM

These hours will count for in-school hours for the fall of 2009. When you reply, reply to mthnhs@gmail.com so that all of your officers and give a collaborative effort in organizing please! Any questions, don't hesitate to email!
