Their coaches are very proud of how this group came together for a great season.  

FCA

Happy Thanksgiving from the NHS Huddle of FCA.   Everyone is welcome and you do not have to be an athlete.  Our leaders for this year are Addison Hanson, Ashlyn Sutherland, Payton Orme, Reagan Eberhardt and Morgan Martens.  We meet every Friday morning at 7:30 am in Room 3058.  This is a student led organization so if you have questions, please see any of the above mentioned students.  

FCCLA

Eight members of FCCLA attended the Fall Leadership conference at UW Stout and spent the day learning how to grow the organization and how to grow personally as leaders. All of FCCLA organized the annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive for the 19th year, partnering with Rural Care and Share.  With help from students and staff at both NHS and NMS, 46 baskets packed with over 1,000 food items were collected along with a $200 donation. Students are currently wrapping up their fall fundraising efforts are an getting ready to shift gears to competition prep. 

NES Mentors

Thank you to all the NHS students who have made a  commitment to the NES Mentor program.   We have a great group looking to making a difference in the life of an NES student.  Our 3 C’s for this year are Commitment, Communication and Consistency. Thank you for making a commitment, thank you for communicating with your cooperating teacher at NES and thank you for being consistent.  If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Vik in Room 3055 or send an email to Mrs. Hietala.  During this busy Christmas season, please make sure any of the days you plan on being at NES work for your student as they will have programs and parties.  You might be invited?  Happy Thanksgiving to all!  

SADD/FACT

SADD and FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco) are combining efforts at NHS.  We had 3 Freshmen ladies attend and lead a session at the Youth Wellness Summit in Superior on Nov. 13.  Thank you to Claire, Izzy and Addy.  Great work!

Student Council

NHS Student Council will once again be collecting toys for K.I.N.  Individuals, families, and/or advisories can bring in new toys (or make a monetary donation) to be given to kids in the area during the holidays.  Items will be collected now through December 18th.  If you have any questions, please ask Mrs. Fechtelkotter or Ms. Landherr.  Thanks for helping spread some holiday cheer this year!
