Carnival Committee is centered around the October Halloween Carnival and is one of the main income events for NHS. In this event, elementary students pay for a ticket which lets them access the games, face painting, snacks/dinner, activities, and a haunted house included in the Carnival. If you are a member of the Carnival Committee you will be expected to attend meetings prior to the carnival as well as attend and help administrate the carnival itself. Jobs include (but are not limited to) helping set up and clean up the carnival, being a part of the haunted house, administering games, helping with food or tickets, doing face paint, etc. This creates a fun and safe place for elementary students to celebrate Halloween!

The main objective of Empty Bowls Committee is to help with food insecurity within the Gunnison Valley. As a member of this committee, some roles may include contacting local restaurants for soup/salad/other food items, coordinating with McGill’s (the venue), and painting the bowls which will be used for the event. At the event, people buy a bowl as a ticket for dinner and the money made at the event goes towards food security within our valley, typically as a donation for Mountain Roots. You will be expected to attend this event to be a part of this committee, and it usually takes place in February/March* during the evening.

Mental health day is dedicated to the education of different facets of mental health (including stress, depression, self harm, self care, meditation, and more). Designate professionals share their knowledge of the importance of mental health. In previous years we have also included snacks and massages for the students in the classrooms and the library. Mental health is extremely important and this year we want to make this a center of NHS.
