Last semester, freshmen students in both Intro to Art classes participated in a Community Project Day t-shirt design contest. The top 3 finalists' designs can be seen below. Click to enlarge the images. Shout out to freshmen artist Destiny for winning the Intro to Art T-Shirt Design Contest! Her initial concept won the vote of NHS members. After her design was selected, NHS historian Ellie spruced up the shirt based on suggestions of the rest of the NHS chapter. Moonlight Graphics created the proof showing the shirt in all of the 7 colors that will be printed this year (one color per class). T-shirt design after final adjustments. Community Project Day will take place on Friday, May 17th this year. Shirt orders will be sent home at the end of April/beginning of May. Check out previous posts about CPD here. CPD shirt designs from the past can be seen below. Check back for updates soon! :)

Our chapter has been busy in these winter months! Prior to the New Year, the last day before break was a busy one for NHS members. We organized and judged an Ugly Sweater Contest in the 6th-12th grade building for our annual "Super Happy Fun Day" and had great participation in all grades! The 6 winners in the junior/high school building can be seen below. Most Hideous - Lane G. Most Festive - Evan H. Most Beautifully Tacky - Breanna S. Most Likely Belonging to Your Grandma - Caylin J. Still Pretty Ugly - Samantha B. Best Ugliest Christmas Sweater - Dakota S. Instead of spending their afternoon enjoying activities with their peers at the high school, NHS members donated their time to visit the elementary instead. During the afternoon of the Friday prior to break, NHS hosted an Upper Elementary Movie Day for 3rd-5th graders. Students enjoyed fresh popcorn (thank you Sports Boosters for letting us use the concession area) while watching The Santa Clause. The Ugly Sweater contest was also offered to 3rd-5th grade students at the Elementary building in Hermansville. The winners can be seen below - Most Hideous - Drayden P. Most Festive - Griffin G. Most Beautifully Tacky - Lauren F. Most Likely Belonging to Your Grandma - McKenzie W. Stilly Pretty Ugly - Ella M. Most Ugliest Christmas Sweater - Andrew S. Now that 2019 has started our to-do list involves many items happening in the remainder of winter and this spring. Up next for our chapter is our final Whip-a-Wiffle raffle fundraiser at the boys basketball game on Friday, January 25th vs. Bark River-Harris. Coming soon is our annual Fat Tuesday Paczki Sale on Tuesday, March 5th 2019. The current task for NHS members is seeking sponsors for our annual Hermansville Hustle 5k in Memory of Sheila Sanville. More info on this event can be found HERE at our official race website. Our facebook event can be found HERE as well. If you or your business is interested in being a 2019 sponsor, check out this page or contact me at [email protected]. Our sponsorship form can be found at the end of this post.

In order to be selected as a member of the North Central Chapter of NHS, students need to portray the four pillars of NHS: Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service. Juniors and seniors need to maintain a 3.3 GPA, while early admission sophomores require a 3.5 GPA. NHS members are also required to complete a minimum of 20 service hours per school year. Returning members have been working on planning this banquet since the school started. They all did a wonderful job! The ceremony included an elaboration of the four pillars of NHS by the officers, individual introduction of new members by the current chapter, signing of the registry, the NHS pledge, and a luncheon. Special thank you to the parents for their contributions to the luncheon! Photos from the ceremony can be viewed in the slideshow below. New inductees were surprised with a congratulatory gift bag, which included the chapter t-shirts pictured below. These shirts are worn to promote our chapter in the community and while volunteering or facilitating our annual events.
