FFA

Brinley Tonn, Sheila Gregerson, Asher Gilderman, Lily Kwako, and Justin Nelson will be representing Northwestern at the WI State FFA Convention in Madison in mid June. They will be accepting awards to our FFA chapter as well as participating in a variety of community service projects and leadership development workshops.

NES Mentors

The NES Mentors are completing their work with an NES student this week.  If you are interested in doing this next year, please stop in Room 3058.  Volunteering is an amazing experience and this is one way you can pay it forward!  Thank you to all NES Mentors!   

SADD

Students Against Destructive Decisions have a Random Act of Kindness project ready for NES.  If your elementary school student talks about a small treat that had words of encouragement, that was probably from a group of SADD students at NHS.  Kindness makes a difference everyday and if we can model it hopefully it will be contagious!
