Fairfield National Honor Society members give back to community throughout school year
Lead Summary
By
Kristi Condo-
The Fairfield Local High School chapter of the National Honor Society has had a very eventful 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 six important events.
In October, the group aided Fairfield’s FFA chapter by participating in 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 February, the group directed its fourth 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 to actively fund local blood cancer research for pediatrics and adults.
The NHS has also aided the Highland County Senior Citizens Center by providing volunteers for fundraising events held at their establishment. NHS members volunteered their time and contributed by helping the center conduct their “Cookies with Characters” event as well as “Turkey Bingo,” “Breakfast with Santa,” “The Decade Dinner & Dance of the ’50s & ’60s,” “Ham Bingo” and the extremely popular “Pancake Extravaganza with the Easter Bunny and Friends” event.
In addition to the events listed above, a host of other community service events were supported by NHS members throughout the year.
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.
