NHS decorates students lockers
NHS uses locker decorations as a reward for honor roll students
Senior National Honors Society member CJ Meeks places sings on the lockers of honor role students on Monday, Dec. 2. “It shows appreciation to those who got on honor role,” Meeks said.
In recognition of the students who made the first quarter honor roll, National Honor Society decorated lockers and distributed lanyards instead of hosting a REACH party. This change stems from a large increase in honor roll students.
“There were over 600 kids on honor roll first semester,” NHS sponsor Kristen Chavez said. “We just can’t fit that many kids in the commons [for a REACH party].”
For the semester honor roll, NHS will hand out goodie bags that may consist of small treats.
“They will have stuff like juice boxes, $1 Catty Shack gift cards and snacks,” Chavez said. “We will also put in stuff that is school sponsored.”
It is undetermined what NHS will do for third quarter honor roll students. Chavez hopes to differentiate the rewards every semester, but likes the idea of the goodie bags.
“I have a feeling the goodie bags will stay, but I will switch things up,” Chavez said. “The students will be happy not having to give up seminar, [and] one of the three rewards will be a goodie bag.”
