FCA 

Fellowship of Christian Athletes meets every Fri. morning at 7:30 in Room 3058.  Our leaders are Jenna Hursh, Lawson Burkhart, Ashlyn Sutherland and Addison Hanson.
Breakfast treats are served!  We were recently blessed by an anonymous donation to our Huddle group and we have some ideas of how to be a blessing to others with those funds!  Everyone is welcome - you do NOT have to be an athlete.  Please see any of the leaders with questions.   

National Honor Society

During Snow Week, the students raised money to support the Rural Care and Share Food Shelf by hosting a dodgeball tournament and doing a Miracle Minute during a girls’ basketball game; around $375 will be donated.  

NES Mentors

The students at NES are so grateful for our NHS Mentors!  We are so proud of each of our NHS students who commit to one AA time per week to befriend an NES student.  Communication and commitment are the keys to a successful mentoring relationship.  Thank you NHS students for staying true to the purpose of mentoring.  Please see Mrs. Vik if you are interested in being a mentor.   

SADD

The Students Against Destructive Decisions are working on a couple of different school-wide initiatives.  We gave every NHS student a candy cane to remind them that SADD exists to encourage good decision-making regarding positive lifestyle choices.
