NHS Hosts Slightly Haunted Halloween Halls for Oly Elementary Students

On Sunday, the Olympia High School National Honor Society hosted its second annual Slightly Haunted Halloween Halls carnival for Oly elementary school students from 2-4 pm at the high school.  Over 450 children and parents attended the event.

The OHS students decorated the academic halls of the high school in various themes--pumpkin, princess, superhero and spooky.  Visiting children were able to trick or treat in the halls plus play games, do activities and take photos with the costumed NHS members. The mad scientists were back this year with ooey gooey items to examine!  In the commons, children were also able to plays a variety of games or visit the face painters.

The event was designed as a free community outreach program by the NHS membership.  Also canned goods and monetary donations were collected.  The donations will be taken by the NHS officers and students in the Life Skills class to the Stanford Food Pantry on Nov. 9.

NHS Spartan Bowling Volunteer Opportunity

Last year, NHS provided volunteers for the Spartan Bowlers.  Below are the bowling dates for this semester. 

 Anyone interested in gaining volunteer hours welcome to be a peer buddy for the Spartan Bowlers.  We encourage the volunteers to bowl with the kids, rather than just watch/help as they serve as excellent models – plus it makes it more fun!  If money is a concern, we can work something out.

Just like last year, we meet in the OMS gym after school, board a bus, bowl, and then return in time for the shuttle.  If volunteers want to meet us at the bowling alley, that is totally fine.

September 7 and September 21

October 5 and October 19

November 2 November 16 and November 30

December 7

The cost is still $6.00, and we meet in the OMS gym before loading the bus.

See Ms Shaw in the high school or Mrs. Davis in the middle school for additional information.
