NJHS Information
Hello 7th and 8th grade Lesher Students!
It’s time to apply for National Junior Honor Society-- also called NJHS. If you were already accepted into this last year, you don’t need to reapply-- you’re automatically in.
It is considered a great honor to be accepted into NJHS, and it is a recognition that many people notice if it is on your resume when you apply for future organizations and jobs.
NJHS runs a great deal of service activities at Lesher such as collecting food for the local food bank, creating cards and decorations for local nursing homes, setting up the Adopt-a-Family holiday gift drive, hosting staff appreciation events, taking part in Lesher’s campus clean-up days, and much more!
To apply to join this wonderful organization, check out the link on Lesher’s webpage. The application is open to only 7th and 8th graders who were on the gold or blue honor roll at the end of last year and are willing to participate in our quarterly meetings and at least one NJHS service project. The deadline to apply is Friday, September 27. For more information, talk to
Mr. T, or Mr. Warchola.

Lesher Minecraft Tour!
Over the past 2 years, Design Club has been busy building a scale model of Lesher in Minecraft! We used Google Earth to measure an outline from above – each block was ½ meter in length. They took pictures of every classroom and made sure every single detail was accounted for – down to the color of the flooring to Mr. Swann on hall duty in the front. They used redstone (it’s a special kind of Minecraft block that is like electricity) to power lights, run water to the water fountains, and play a special tune when you press a button at the front door.
Evie Eslinger, Esther Johnson, and Emilia Mellizo Kroll have been integral as the ‘mayors’ of this online community. They have presented their work at several teacher trainings at the district level!
Last week, this video was presented to 5th graders and they loved seeing their new school!
