Although it is difficult to detect, this form of cancer is one of the most treatable forms. One of our own alumni, Ashley Herndobler, a 2017 Hebron High School Hebron graduate, was recently diagnosed. It is our hope that we can bring awareness to this disease as we set out to help her and her family with the costs of the treatment she ll be receiving. Currently, Business Professionals of America is sponsoring a walk-a-thon to raise funds for this effort. On Friday, February 9, students from the middle and high school will participate in the indoor walk through the high school halls by donating $10.00 to the cause along with a signed permission slip. All participants will receive a t-shirt in honor of Ashley to raise awareness and to show her our support. You can locate an order form on page 6 of this publication, or you can pick one up in the high school or middle school office. The t-shirt is also on display at each of the schools as well. Look for National Honor Society s Dominos Pizza fundraiser coming soon. Please keep an eye out for updates on this and all other associated activities. Boys PCC!

Anyone who orders can get two large pizzas for $10 with one topping for each. NHS will also be sponsoring a blood drive set for Monday, March 19th. It will be on a red day, so if you plan on donating make sure you eat a healthy breakfast, drink lots of fluids, and get rest. Empty Bowls is being moved from February to May this year so that it can take place during Celebration of The Arts Month. For all NHS members, the next meeting is February 6. Thank you on behalf of all our members for your support in all our endeavors! E-Learning Day On the January 12, 2018, Hebron High School was called off for winter weather. When inclement weather causes a cancellation, an electronic learning day sanctioned by the state takes its place. The E-Learning day was an extravagant success meaning that the student body will not have to make up this day at the end of the year. If and when there is another E-Learning day, we encourage students to get their work done that day since their teachers are readily available to answer any questions and provide clarifications. The reason they have a later due date is in case of the electricity going out or wireless being unavailable. Thanks everyone for your cooperation! Kiner s Corner The media center has some exciting news! In celebration of John Green s new book, Turtles All the Way Down, Follett, a book vendor, is offering a contest to win a Skype visit with the author. Excited students and fans of the author s books are tasked with creating a library display in hopes that Hebron will win the contest. Even those who ve never read one of his books were asked to bring their creative side and can be a real help! So, come on in and watch the ideas unfold during the next couple of SRTs and hopefully we ll create the best display they ve seen.
