Anybody have good ideas for spirit days?

Submitted by ashlyn on Sun, 08/22/2010 - 20:52.

Last year during school we did some pretty neat stuff. But I don't want to do the same things two years in a row. Now, I need to come up with some new ideas and I'm brain dead. Any help out there?

Has anyone started fundraising for DM@UM?

Cheboygan Area High School students are beginning to plan their Dance Marathon. It is a long ways off but we are in need of ideas and advice. Have any of you either previously had or will have a Dance Marathon at your own schools? How did it go?

Do you have any ideas for homecoming dance decorations/activities?

Submitted by ryant on Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:10.

Our homecoming theme is Will Ferrell. The only decorations at our dance are the names of everyone in the school on pictures and what our DJ brings with. We want to try something new and decorate it better.

How does your school run Powderpuff games?

Submitted by Michelle Castagne on Mon, 08/17/2009 - 15:43.

My school has never hosted a Powderpuff football game before and this year the senior class is looking to start a new tradition. We understand that each schools' version of PowderPuff differs so we would love to hear from all of you! We need to know things like who gets to participate, do you use it as a fundraiser, is it held during school or after, and what are the actual rules for the game?

Alternate Faculty Council Members?

Submitted by Jeannee Yakel on Wed, 05/13/2009 - 08:58.


Three members of our NHS are going before the Faculty Council regarding an incident that took place on a school sponsored field trip to Europe that is resulting in the students being considered for removal.

Two of the five teachers on the faculty advisory board were chaperones on the trip. One of the parents thought that they might be biased in the appeal. Are there other ways to handle this? Can we find new Faculty Council Members?

Homecoming!

Submitted by amberrose09 on Fri, 03/13/2009 - 20:49.

Hey Guys!

 For my school Homecoming is coming early next year so we need to start planning right away! I was wondering if anyone had an awesome idea that worked well for your school? Also, Circus is a big idea for us. Did anyone have Circus as their theme and could you let us know how that went/what you did?

Thanks! Amber Harchuk Center 10 Representative

How does your middle school handle community service hours and sports?

Submitted by peck2008 on Wed, 02/25/2009 - 12:36.

Do you count sports participation as service hours or do you and your coaches have an understanding when your members need to be at a NJHS meeting or NJHS sponsored activity? Thank you in advance for input.

State Conference Transportation

Submitted by Michelle Foster on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 18:37.

We are looking for a school to share a charter bus to the state conference. We're south of Detroit, so we'd be happy to stop and pick up a school along the way!

NHS/NJHS Selection Using "Point Systems"

Submitted by admin on Tue, 02/10/2009 - 11:29.

Our school uses a point system where the cutoff is 60 out of 84 for membership.  We have a few students who scored within a couple points of the cut-off. Can we induct them on a probationary status where they are aware of the areas in which they need to demonstrate improvement in by a given deadline, or would they either have to be selected or not selected.

Does anyone know when the MASC Camp DVD's will be arriving?

Is anyone willing to share transportation to States?

Submitted by Emily Dressler on Mon, 01/05/2009 - 12:32.

Since State Conference is over Spring Break I am not able to take my kids to States. I am working on getting another volunteer from the school to chaperone the kids, but was wondering if anyone from the southern flint/northern metro detroit area might want to share transportation?

We usually charter a bus but I only have eight kids.

Let me know...

Homecoming

Submitted by kparent on Wed, 10/15/2008 - 16:18.

Now that homecoming is starting to wind down for most schools, I would like to do a little debriefing!

as you all know, a homecoming theme can make or break the homecoming festivities. What themes have / have not worked for you? Why did they or didn't they work? What can you suggest to other schools planning on using this theme?
