We had a great assembly this morning put on by our 8th grade student government with performances from Jazz Band and Chorus. Be sure to ask your 7th grader all about Red Ribbon Day and the other theme days we had this week. It’s a great opportunity to talk about making positive and healthy decisions and spreading acts of kindness to others.

Veteran’s Day Assembly
Dear Families,
This year NHS will observe Veteran’s Day with an assembly on Monday, November 9th. As part of that observance the 8th Grade Student Government has been reaching out in an attempt to honor the family members of our students and staff who have served. Here is the email from Student Government advisor, Brianna Knight:
“On the behalf of Student Government I am asking if you (the staff ) have a family member that has served in the armed forces we would like to thank them through a slide show that will be created for the Veteran’s Day assembly. Also, if you would like to reach out to your students to send in, either a digital or physical, picture of family members that have served we would love to incorporate them as well. Please have any digital photos sent to me bknight@sau21.org. “
If you have a family member who has served and are willing to share a photo we would be honored to have your participation. Please send any further requests, photos, or questions directly to Ms. Knight at bknight@sau21.org.
Thank you!

You choose the category and the example. Your post must be submitted for review on your blog by Friday, October 23rd.
