Select students are preparing for Chorfest at UWS as well happening November 10th. The Tiger Beat show choir is preparing pieces for the Washburn Extravaganza that is being held at Washburn High School on November 12th.

Drama

The NHS Drama team recently performed their play at district competition in Drummond and earned scores which qualified them for the sectional competition in Eau Claire on November 2. In addition, the cast and crew are also eagerly anticipating performing for the public at the Night of One Acts, Tuesday November 15 at 7 pm in the Patricia Loustari Auditorium at NHS. 

FCA

Fellowship of Christian Athletes meets every Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. in Room 3058.  Our leaders are Peter Kephart, Kayla Paulsen, Jenna Hursh and Lawson Burkhart.  It is so awesome to have 40-45 students every week sharing a devotional, encouraging each other, and having a yummy breakfast treat!   All are welcome!  

National Honor Society

Instead of trick-or-treating for candy, Northwestern students will be going around our local community on Halloween collecting food donations for the local food shelves.  Please help them help others.

NES Mentors

What an amazing group of NHS students who volunteer their time to be a friend to an NES student!  These NHS students commit to one Advisory period a week to go to NES to come alongside an NES student who needs some one-on-one time.  Special thanks to Mrs. Hietala for making meaningful connections with our super students at NHS and a great kid at NES!  If you are a junior or senior and interested in being a mentor, please stop in to see Mrs. Vik in Room 3058.  

SADD

Students Against Destructive Decisions have formed three sub committees and they are presently researching initiatives for Random Acts of Kindness, Mental Health awareness and how to make better choices concerning our health.  All students are invited to be part of these discussions.  Our mission is to make our student body better prepared to choose the best for self and educate others to make a great choice.  When we know better, we DO better!
