Calvary Christian School is well on its way into the school year. School has been going for over a month. All the students are very busy with soccer, volleyball, student counsel, being in the Good to Go club, and National Honors Society.
National Honors Society is a very special group. This group is overseen by a director and run by the students. Only people with a grade point average of three point five or higher can join. There are about twenty people in NHS this year. The people who are also in NHS have been extra busy. The students in NHS must have thirty community service hours. Twenty hours are required for school and a extra ten hours are required for the NHS students. The students participating in NHS must also have tutoring hours. The students need a total of thirty tutoring hours by the end of the year.
For one of our community service projects NHS is hosting a blood drive. The blood drive will take place on November fifth at Calvary Christian School The blood drive will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To give blood you must be at least sixteen years old. If you are sixteen you must have your parent’s permission and their signature. For everyone who wants to donate blood you must bring a picture of identification. If the NHS students receive enough people to give blood or who attempt to give blood the NHS organization will give money toward the NHS students' scholarships at Calvary Christian School.
The National Honors Society program was started at Calvary three years ago by Kim Borgeson. Now the director is Deb Stenberg. There are also three other advisors to help oversee National Honors Society at Calvary Christian School. The three advisors are Jonathan Langdon, Becky Mann, and Sandy Anderson. They are in these positions to help oversee the club and make sure we are making the right decisions. Although it may be difficult sometimes, we are very thankful to have National Honors Society as a program at Calvary Christian School.
