Purple Haze
Winding Down

The school year is winding down with only two weeks left. We still have a few important events left to round out the year, one of which is Prom!

You may have assumed that it has already happened, like most school districts, but ours is not until this weekend! Students are excited to show off their dresses, take pictures at various locations, and dance all evening. For many, prom is more than just the night itself. Preparation begins much earlier in the day with nails, hair and make-up appointments for us girls!

This past Tuesday, the Boys and Girls volleyball teams played in a competitive game to raise money and awareness for Youth Impact Project. The game raised about $800 with the theme of being super heroes to those in need of one. This was the fourth annual "battle of the sexes" game at NHS.

The final school newspaper will be coming out next week, a special edition, featuring "senior wills." Seniors can write notes leaving hypothetical or physical items to underclassmen to remember them by. It's always an entertaining and sentimental part of the final days of high school.

Next Tuesday night Senior Awards will be held in the NHS auditorium. The evening is designated to honor students chosen for scholarships or those being honored for their excellence in different academic departments. It's a very special night for all involved.

Enjoy the weather during the long holiday weekend as we remember all those who have and are fighting for our freedoms. The NHS Marching Band will play in Dillsburg's Memorial Day parade and also during the ceremony at Dillsburg Cemetery.
