Thanks to Sophomore Reyna Moreno who led the project.

Friday, March 15- Volunteering at Isabella

If you are interested in or planning on volunteering at Isabella this week, please email me so I can pass on your name to the security staff and supervisors at Isabella.  Karen, the usual supervisor, will be out of the office so she needs your names forwarded to those who will be working.

A compliment from Karen for those of you who have volunteered: "The teachers have applauded the efforts of your students and the children love having them."

Keep up the good work!  Great job representing WHEELS NHS!

Tie-Dye Uniform Shirts Fundraiser Update

Just a reminder that the Tie-Dye T-shirts Fundraiser is a major NHS school-wide project.  Please be sure to support this project by buying a shirt!  Paper order forms will be available tomorrow through Thursday during lunch dismissal.

I need FOUR NHS volunteers to take orders during lunch dismissal- 2 students at the fourth floor, 2 students at the second floor.  Please reply to me if you can do this.  We'll meet briefly before period 1 tomorrow to discuss the details.
