Involvement within the community spurred bonding and leadershi1

Planning events and volunteer work were a big part of both National
Honor Society and Student Council. While NHS required an extensive ap-
plication process, Student Council was opened to all students. Both clubs
spe nt hours planning volunteer outings and bonding activities.
"NHS gave me a lot of opportunities; I got to work w ith kids and bright-
en their day. Playing beach voll eyball at Indian Hills made me feel like I was
1 0-years old aga in ," junior Nick lambert said.
NHS members co ntributed extra effort to make every event such as Mr.
and Miss Musta ng and the annual lock-in a success.
"At the lock-in we got to run around the school and got to play junior ;-
ve rsus se nior matba ll. Th e se niors won," sen ior Amanda Poppens sa id.
Thursday morning meetings, decorating days and weeks of planning
helped make sp irit week and homecoming a triumph.
"Th e Pep Rall y was the best this year because we could do a lot with the
Circus theme. Th e circus before was a ton of fun because you could throw
people in jail. We got to put Ms. Kin," sop homore jessica Thai said.
Along w ith homecoming, Student Council helped put on bonding activi-
ties and helped out around the community.
"We did a lot of things for the school. One of our main goa ls this year
was to make our school more incl usive and get more students involved. We
even went to a bunch of organizations to voluntee r like Habitat for Human-
ity and Make-A-Wish," junior Katrina Kuss said.
Service-driven, but fun to the core, Student Council and NHS improved
the community and positively in flu enced the sc hool.
