Lead Summary

Press Release-
The Fairfield Local High School chapter of the National Honor Society has been very busy this school year. This student organization has successfully directed several school activities, including two charitable projects, and has volunteered at the Highland County Senior Citizens Center for two important events.
In October, the group aided Fairfield’s FFA chapter by conducting the annual “Safe Halloween” event. This event was held in Fairfield Local’s auditeria and allowed children to trick-or-treat safely while school groups and area businesses handed out candy. Participation in this activity allowed NHS members to provide service to the community while fostering a safe environment for everyone to enjoy.
This past December, the group directed its third annual “Winter Wear Drive.” As a result, numerous pairs of gloves, scarves, winter hats and coats were collected to benefit the students at Fairfield Local School as well as The Friendly Village Community Center located in Leesburg.
Furthermore, in March, Fairfield’s National Honor Society launched the “Pennies for Patients” campaign to assist the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which actively funds local blood cancer research for pediatrics and adults. Over a three-week period, the NHS was able to collect a total of $364.68 to donate to this worthy association.

The NHS has also been working with the Highland County Senior Citizens Center to provide volunteers for events being held at their establishment. NHS members volunteered and participated by helping the center conduct their “Cookies with Characters” event, as well as “Breakfast with Santa” and “Ham Bingo” events. Additionally, members also volunteered to assist with the popular “Pancake Extravaganza” event, which featured the Easter bunny and other characters.
Next month, NHS members will also be lending a hand at the Senior Center’s third annual “1950s Night.” This event will showcase as a dinner and live entertainment occasion, which will include NHS members serving dinner to all the guests for their enjoyment.
The goal of the National Honor Society is to give back to the school and community by maintaining high standards of character and scholarship as well as proving leadership and service to others. The NHS, in part, fulfills this goal by conducting charitable projects.
