NHS members implemented a school-wide recycling program aimed at helping teachers recycle more easily. Each teacher is given a box wrapped with paper and lined with a shelf liner. This box is placed in the classroom and is the perfect place for paper and used bottles that can be recycled! NHS members go around to these classrooms each week to discard the contents of the boxes into school recycling bins to help the teachers continue to recycle and not choose the trash can.Teacher Help Initiative
NHS members helped teachers with cleaning up and preparing for the end of the school year. Members did various tasks such as transporting furniture, organizing classroom items, and clearing out the teachers' rooms. This initiative helped a lot of teachers end the year off smoothly as the help was greatly needed.
