Poinsettias EMERGENCY MEETING

ATTENTION ALL NHS MEMBERS:
There is an emergency meeting THIS MONDAY (Oct. 25) in MORINVILLE'S ROOM at 7:15. You will just be receiving your packet of information on poinsettia sales. You must sell 10 by NOVEMBER 2ND or else you will recieve a demerit. The money raised will go towards scholarships for NHS members. Be sure to come pick up your packets AT 7:15 on Monday as you will only have a week to meet the sales requirement. You can go to Shirley Hills, Hill Top, or ask teachers at MWHS to meet that requirement, as well as contact family members and friends. The poinsettias will be available before Thanksgiving so you will be able to hand them out to your family then.
Thanks for understanding!

October Meeting (10/21)

Hey guys,
Thank you to everyone who showed up today, I think we had a productive meeting.
Congratulations to Dan Flesher and Andrew Alness, our new Treasurer and VP! Remember you two must now be at every board meeting on the first Wednesday of every month, plus the regular meetings. Your next meeting is NOVEMBER 4TH in Morinville's room.

What we covered:

  • A guest speaker from the outdoor ice rink by Shirley Hills came to speak to us about volunteer opportunities at the rink. He needs a few kids to work shifts, especially during the winter break, in the warming house. Your job would simply be to moniter the kids skating and make sure everything runs smoothly.
  • Ms. Wallace also spoke to us about volunteering at the Hill Top October Fest. She handed around a sign up sheet at the meeting but if you did not get the chance to sign up and you would like to, contact her ASAP because the October Fest is THIS SATURDAY.
  • Voted for Treasurer and VP. Congrats Dan and Andrew!
  • Handed out NHS bylaws. If you have not already done so, please read through these, sign them, and get them into Morinville or Cordie by NEXT FRIDAY. If you do not get it in it will count as a demerit. If you did not get one, there should be some on the NHS board next to Cordie's room.
  • Broke into committees. The committee lists are posted below. If you did not get onto a committee, please contact me either at school, on this blog, or through email at leejamiller@gmail.com to get your name on one of the lists.

Junior Meeting (10/7)

Hey guys!
Our first meeting of the year is just with the junior class members to go over the upcoming school year and get you used to being in NHS.

Topics Covered:
  • Welcome to NHS!
  • What is NHS?
    • We aim to promote volunteerism within the community and make Mound a better place. We break into 7 committees, one for each remaining month of the school year. Each comittee has one chair (must be a senior) and does the planning for their month's event. Everyone must attend all events.
  • Expectations
    • be present and on time to every event, uphold the NHS name, don't make bad desicions, they are not tolerated in NHS.
  • VP and Treasurer
    • for those of you who missed, please see the NHS board (outside of Cordie's room) for the VP and Treas. job descriptions. If you would like to run for one of these positions, prepare a short (2 min) speech describing why you would be good for the role and be ready to speak on the 21st!
  • Poinsettia Sales (keep an eye out for more info on NHS board)
There were many of you missing at this morning's meeting. That means you now have a demerit and you need to make that up! We will be going over ways in which you can make that meeting up at our next meeting on OCTOBER 21, thats the first Wednesday after we get back from MEA at 7:10. DO NOT be late! Two demerits and you're out of NHS.
Check the attendence list to make sure you've been present at every meeting this year!
Questions or concerns? Leave a comment or email me at leejamiller@gmail.com

Thanks for a great first meeting guys!
