March of Dimes is just around the corner and we thought what better way to raise money for the babies than to have a school-wide club game night! Anyone and everyone who belongs to any club at NHS is allowed to come! It will be a night filled with games and food; in addition, there will be raffle tickets available for 50 cents each for the chance to win a t-shirt! Admission is $3 dollars, but all proceeds will go toward March of Dimes! If you guys need hours, this is a great opportunity because all you will have to do is bring food or at least two friends for an hour!
