Around 506 students filed into the commons, giving their tickets to staff members for the REACH party on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
NHS hosts this event after every quarter for students who make the Principal’s All A Honor Roll and the A/B Honor Roll. During the REACH party students can participate in a cakewalk, earn food prizes, play card games, frost sugar cookies and hang out with friends.
Senior Marinela Koleva says that the REACH party lets her take a break from seminar.
“I like the free food,” Koleva said. “Also, [I] can get out of seminar and just relax.”
NHS member Michaela Remijio agrees.
“I like that we can get away from the stress of school and hang out with friends,” Remijio said.
Also, NHS sponsor Kristen Chavez believes that the student body likes the REACH parties.
“Yesterday, about 77 percent of the students that qualified came down to the party,” Chavez said.
