The National Honor Society of Eads High School has been active this semester with chapter fundraising and community service. Every other Tuesday chapter members bake a dozen cookies that are sold to students in the mornings and at mid-morning break. The chapter has also completed a community service project for St. Jude’s Hospital. Members addressed and sent out around 225 letters requesting donations to St. Jude’s Hospital. If you have received one of these letters, your donation would greatly be appreciated and will be used for a good cause.

Next semester students can apply to become part of the National Honor Society. Students fill out an application and are chosen by a committee of staff members based on their academic achievements, as well as there community involvement and extracurricular activities. The select few will then be inducted into NHS in February and will become a member of a tradition that reflects leadership, community, and academics.

The NHS would like to thank the students, parents, and everyone else for their devoted time with helping to raise funds for the chapter and for St. Jude’s Hospital. It is greatly appreciated.
