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

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!

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
Becky Yep

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!

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!

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.
