One of the prizes Mrs McCune got sits on the board.

On Mon. Dec. 18, the NAHS had their Christmas party where there was food, drinks, and lots of fun contest. One of the fun things they did was they had a gingerbread house contest they went in groups and designed the houses the way that they wanted to. Senior Kendyl Lay talks about her time in NAHS.

“NAHS gives me time to relax before I have to go to work at 3:30,” Lay, said. “I also love the environment that Mrs. McCune creates.”

The next meeting for NAHS is on Monday Jan. 8.
