Week of Service Day 3

Snack cart is back in the conference room this morning!

BulldogMUN Volunteering

Hi everyone, BHS's Model UN team is looking for student volunteers to help host our annual conference, BulldogMUN. BulldogMUN IV will be held on Saturday, April 15th from 8:30AM-5PM at school (volunteering can happen in shifts, but if you're free, stay as long as you can). We'll need about 8-10 volunteers to help carry out a range of activities like paging (passing notes in committee), copying papers, taking photographs to document the conference, and running the charity refreshment stand. This is a pretty relaxed/fun service opportunity, and we could really use your help! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Adviser Note: I'll put this in x2VOL shortly after approving it. I hope we can staff both events, so keep in mind that we've not got Our Promise to Nicholas and Model UN going on the same day.

Week of Service: Monday

It's not a five-star continental, but remember that as part of our celebration you can stop by the library conference room Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning for a fruit, granola bar, or treat breakfast snack.

As you're doing your activities today, make a note of how much hours people are giving to your event. We'll want to start keeping a running total. Our 1,200 hours from last year is going to be tough to beat!

Important Announcement for Treats for Tails Volunteers!

For everyone who signed up to bake Monday after school: Unfortunately, there was a scheduling error with the FACS room, so this will have to sadly be cancelled. We apologize for this being such late notice!

There is still room on x2vol to go around to advisories and talk about/collect dog supplies if you need more hours!

For everyone going around to advisories: Be sure to let the advisories know that along with giving the supplies to you during the week, they can also put supplies in a box what will be located outside of the commons. You can simply place collected items in the box after getting everything from advisories. The main supplies we are looking for include dry dog food, toys, leashes and collars- there is a list on the Animal Rescue League website!

 For any questions, please email Sarah at 9956580@bedfordnhk12.net. Thank you for your help!

Week of Service: Boys and Girls Club Painting Activity

Hey everyone, I am coordinating an event for WOS. It will consist of the following: 15 volunteers will transport themselves to the Manchester Boys and Girls Club (carpooling can be arranged), and will assist the kids with a painting so the kids can have some creative opportunity. We will have to brainstorm the best way to coordinate the painting, whether it be printing out pictures for inspirations or having a guided painting. Each volunteer will probably be responsible for 2 kids for the whole time so they can bond and have some fun with them, there will be about 30 kids participating. Depending on funds, each volunteer may have to pay $5 for the supplies; I will know for sure this weekend. The activity will be taking place on Thursday from 3-4:30 ish, after school. It should be pretty chill and lots of fun! Thank you!

Scholarship Opportunity

Hello seniors! For my senior project, I am hosting a film screening for my film "The Shakedowns" on Friday, May 5th at 7 pm in the BHS Library. The admission price will be 5 dollars and all of the ticket sales will go towards a scholarship awarded to either one or more students (depends on how this process goes). I thought I would open this up to all of you seniors because college is expensive and I would love to help alleviate that burden! What's great about this scholarship is that you don't need to write me an essay, get recommendations or show me your grades. All you have to do is shoot me an email and we'll set up an interview! I will be taking your requests until April 11th at 2:35 pm, so if you want a chance at the scholarship, contact me before then! The winner(s) will be announced at the film screening. Definitely consider contacting me because money is money, every little bit counts towards less student debt! Thank you! My email is 9956812@bedfordnhk12.net Hope to hear from you soon!
