$200 to Habitat for Humanity!

WHEELS NHS raised over $200 for Habitat for Humanity through the sale of tie-dye uniform shirts.  Great work!  Special thank you to those students (both NHS members and other student leaders) who led the project and took the uniform shirts home to rinse and prepare for delivery: Arlenis Bueno, Ashley Hidalgo, Jailene Hidalgo, Keilis Perdomo, Alessandria Sanchez, Anauris Soto.

Best of luck to the Habitat for Humanity group who leaves for Miami tomorrow!

Thanks to Sophomore Reyna Moreno who led the project.

Thanks, too, to Ms. McMahon who provided a pizza lunch for the volunteers!

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!
