Have you received something in the mail from "NHS"? It's not from EHS NHS.
All NHS information from Elgin NHS will come through the school--most likely through email or Google Classroom. If you get a letter in the mail from anyone claiming to be Honor Society or National Honor Society or anything like this, it is NOT the same as Elgin NHS. We will never ask you for money through the mail. If you have any questions about this or have received something in the mail you're unsure about, please reach out to Ms. Ivey or your counselors before sending any money.
COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS 2021-2022:
LOG YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS HERE
Each member will be responsible for completing 4 hours of community service work each semester. (8 hours total)
Since we’re getting started late this year, if you don’t complete the 4 hours this semester you can make them up in the spring.
This is work you do not get paid for and benefits the community in some way. (Church activities count if it is a project that benefits the larger community and not just the church community).
The four hours can be in one project or broken up into shorter projects.
As you volunteer, take a picture of your project or of your service and fill out the Community Service Google Form.
