What do we do?
NJHS members work within their community as leaders who serve. To be inducted means that you show strength in leadership, good character and scholarship and you will now use those skills to serve your community as a good citizen.
As such, we will work on service projects to attain the 12.5 hours you need as an NJHS member before 6/1/2023 (these hours can be retro-actively accrued from 1 July 2022).
We will meet every 2nd FRIDAY morning at 7am in #3108 (starting 11/18) to check in. We do not meet after school due to sports conflicts. If you cannot attend every meeting, I ask that you attend as many as you can. It will be a way for me to talk to students about their experiences, create a good sense of community and to talk about up-coming service opportunities.
I look forward to serving with you.
