Grizzly Gram
Howdy from Mr. Bouldin - October 18, 2024
Grizzly Families
Wow...it's that time of the year, there is a lot going on in the building with academics, a lot going on outside the building with sports and activities, and I'm sure a lot going on with family commitments and fun time. I want to thank all of you parents for keeping your students motivated to be at school and keeping up with their classwork. Attendance is one of the greatest factors of passing classes. Thanks for continuing to make attendance a priority.
There is a ton of info below...please check it all out!

Unity Day
On Wednesday we celebrated Unity Day, a national day to bring students together and show their support in making NHS an inclusive and bully free environment! Students were given the opportunity to write a positive message on the Unity Tree, which is a powerful symbol reminding everyone that bullying can be prevented when we all come together and unite. They also participated in project connect, which connects together their inspirational messages and forms a long chain to display for the school to see!
Band Trip/Fundraiser Update
The Grizzly Band has been selling Krispy Kreme donuts, which will be distributed Monday the 21st at 3:10 at NHS. If you didn't get a chance to buy your donuts, come by at that time and there may be a few extra boxes for sale! Donuts for our fundraiser are $16 for a dozen, and are perfect when zapped in the microwave for 7 or 8 seconds! Or, if you just want to make a donation, please feel free to bring your cash or a check made out to NHS by the main office. We still have a long ways to go to meet our roughly $10,000 goal.
The high school band made over $1600 from our summer car washes. Thanks to all who have come out to support us so far! If you haven't had a chance to support us yet, no worries - we still have about $9,000 to raise to go on our spring tour. If you would like to help support the band in any way please contact our Band Director Mr. Munson. Up next is our dinner event on November 21st. Mark your calendars, and Go Griz!
