The National Honor Society (NHS) volunteered at the Food Bank in Garden City this November. This event not only allows students to give back, but also supports the hardworking staff.
Sponsor, Mandy Fritz, took several students to Garden to pack boxes for families, working assembly-line style.
“It felt really good, especially because it was for local food-insecure children,” Mattea Kennis, senior, said.
Other NHS members who attended were seniors Dylan Burch, Bailey Seirer, Kaitlyn Foreman, Lindsey Eisenbise, Jaylee Wickwar, Malia Ruda, Ella Parker, and “this random girl from Garden.”
“[This has] made me realize how much more I could help in the community and the impact it can have on others just by doing small acts,” Dylan Burch said.
Looking ahead, NHS is planning a campus clean-up and the spring induction ceremony, events that further promote community spirit and recognize new members’ achievements.
“I’m excited to help clean up and make our community a better place,” Hailey Medina, senior, said.
NHS also comes with benefits to members, such as scholarships and feeling better about themselves.
“I think people should try to join NHS because it looks good on college resumes and it benefits the people around you,” Sarah Beth Davis, senior, said.
Through these meaningful activities, the National Honor Society continues to foster a spirit of service and leadership among its members, inspiring them to make a positive difference both locally and beyond.
