Rachel's Challenge

I really enjoyed accompanying members of our Leadership Council to the presentation of Rachel's Challenge at Medway High School today. This was an extremely powerful presentation that will hopefully have a long lasting imprint on NHS. We'd like to get this initiative up and running at NHS and I want as many people who believe in this crusade to join me. If you don't know what Rachel's Challenge is, you need to check out this website kyvoice.com/winchestersun/newerworld/?cat=18 Be prepared to question what type of person you are and if you are living up to Rachel's Challenge. HERE is her challenge:

1. Choose Positive Influences
2. Dream big and Journal about it
3. Practice Acts of Kindness
4. Eliminate prejiduce
5. Start a Chain reaction of compassion

I would like to start the F.O.R. Club here at NHS. Please let me know if you are interested in being a part of this and what you would like to do to help.

Attention Athletes!

As you know, poor eating habits such as not eating breakfast, a diet high in fatty foods and low in nutrients and late night fast food runs, can derail any athletes’ performance. There are many benefits to eating well for athletes such as improved athletic performance, decreased stress, healthy weight maintenance, etc. Make your season a more efficient one by taking care of your body. Best of luck to all of our NHS athletes as you start the fall season.

Many Thanks!

Thanks to all those who volunteered and gave the gift of life at our bi-annual blood drive. I'd have to double check the numbers, but I'm pretty sure that this was our most successful blood drive to date. Including teachers, the Red Cross was able to serve over 100 donors. Awesome job everyone!! Also, HUGE thanks and congrats to our SADD group who did an absolutely flawless job. YOU guys are the biggest reason the blood drive has garnered so much attention and that it runs so smoothly. If you didn't get a chance to donate, we'll be hosting the blood drive again next fall and we plan on using the whole gym so as to serve all those people that we had to unfortunately turn away. Thanks again to everyone who played a part.
