NHS service project helps battered women and children
Brandy Williams
National Honor Society is an elite community service based club for upperclassmen with an overall average of 93% of above and pronounced leadership skills. There are 110 members and four officers (seniors Sue Liang, Andrea Zayas Morales, Spencer Obsitnik and Anna Haas).
National Honor Society is collecting toiletries and selling paper pumpkins to benefit Fayetteville’s Promise Place women’s center as its mandatory service project this year.
Toiletries must be new and unopened but can be any size, travel size is preferred.
The pumpkins are being sold for $1 or $5, depending on the size. They will be hung on the window of the senior cafeteria in the “pumpkin patch” and also on lockers and the doors of the teachers who donate. All proceeds go to Promise Place, a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that benefits battered women and children in our community.
The project will end on the afternoon of Friday, November 15. If you wish to donate, please see any member of NHS or the club sponsor, Ms. Maggie Walls in the English department. There are 25 donation boxes set up around the school to collect toiletries.
Your donation supports the student journalists of McIntosh High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase photography equipment and cover our annual website hosting costs.
