Past Events
Cake-pop Fundraiser
Although we have not been active in our sales during the month of April. This month, May, the NHD Club will be selling cake-pops throughout the entire month. Many NHD Club members will be selling these cake-pops throughout the month. Our flavors and cake-pop inventory will change each week, so get them while you can. We thank Izzy's Cake Pops for supporting us!
8th Grade Orientation - 4/1/22
The ASB ran event allowed us to promote our club to the oncoming Freshmen. While there was a great turnout from other schools, we had an exceptional time working and having fun as a club. And our Vice-President helped make a promotional video during that time.
Esquite Fundraisers - 3/24/22
This week Thursday, March 24th, the NHD club will be selling Esquite. The Esquite will be $3, and be sold in front of attendance. We will be selling lemon juice, crushed Cheetos, and red chile flakes for an additional $0.50. During this time, we will be selling our usual Jarritos ($2.00) and chips ($1.00). This probably will be our last time we are selling Esquite for this month.
