The officers will be traveling to Orlando, FL in November for the National Conference. They will be bringing back new ideas for both NHS and NJHS, in hopes of revitalizing the societies. We wish them luck!
Also, if your student was a member of NHS or NJHS at their school last year, they may participate in all NHS and NJHS activities this semester. Their membership will be formally transferred in the Spring at the Tapping Ceremony. Dues and service hours for transferring members will not be due until the Spring.
Finally, membership in either honor Society is based upon a student’s cumulative GPA (maintaining at least a 93.0 average), service work, demonstrated leadership ability, character, and citizenship. Applications for new members (NJHS= 7th-9th grade, NHS= 10th-12th grade) will be given out in the Spring after the Fall grades are turned in. Current members who have not paid their dues will be placed on probation if they do not turn in their $10 fee. Also, 6 service hours are required per semester (they do not carry over) and will be due in December on the last day of Fall midterm exams.

Please address any questions to Ms. Lisa Miles at lmiles@nolancatholichs.org.

Student Council
Student Council has gotten off to a great start. The members want to thank Mr. Mark Rist and Ms. Sandra Villareal for their support and supervision. They also wish to recognize Mr. Dick Nelson, the student dance planning committee, and the parents and faculty who volunteered to chaperone the school dances. Without the help of these various people the NCHS student council would not be able to have such a successful start to the year.

German Club
German Club Members recently competed in their annual Pretzel-Eating & Root Beer-Guzzling Contest Claire Tomiak and Danny Heslep were the champion Root Beer Guzzlers. Bryce Delin was the winner in the Pretzel Eating Contest.
