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 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.
