Purple Haze
The Orange Haze

In case you noticed or were wondering why there was no Purple Haze last week, it's because I was in sunny Florida! (Chris King the Intern was temporarily confused.) Some highlights from the trip were going to the beach (of course!), the Naples Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and an airboat ride through the Everglades. Very educational! Instead of squirrels on the side of the road like here in Pennsylvania, there were alligators! But enough about Florida; this isn't called the Orange Haze.

This past weekend was Northern High School's Mini Thon. The 12-hour event was a huge success as the students surpassed their fundraising goal by $4,600 with a total of $39,611.27 raised. "Words cannot describe how thankful [we] are for our donors, volunteers, and participants," the Four Diamond's committee said. Participants enjoyed an entertaining night of dodgeball, Zumba and bounce house races, all while having fun supporting an amazing cause.

There are a few new clubs at NHS this month. The first is the Debate Club. Students who enjoy debating and politics are encouraged to attend. Another new club is the sign language club. Students of all skill levels are invited to join.

There's always something new and exciting happening at NHS!
