‘Tis (Almost) The Season To Start Thinking About Giving
The National Honor Society, proud host of Stevenson’s annual Give-A-Thon, is conducting a MANDATORY meeting on Oct. 24 for any students interested in being student leaders in their classrooms for Give-A-Thon. Meeting times are during the lunch periods in the Recital Hall.
The meetings will be offered every half period to make sure that even students who are in AP science classes can make it. Those students can grab lunch during the other part of the half period.
Give-A-Thon shirts will be sold at the meeting for $12 (Cash or Patriot Dollars).
Don’t forget to also ask a teacher to be a Give-A-Thon leader in your class. Your teacher will register your class through an online link that they received in their e-mail. You will then help your class collect food donations and baby items, or raise money to purchase holiday gifts for a family.

| Varsity Volleyball Team Getting Wins Off The Court, Too Down the road, when the girls varsity volleyball team puts a wrap on this season, its success won’t be measured in only wins and losses. The Patriots, 23-9 on the season, will also be able to look back on some positive and impactful moments they had in the community, particularly with young girls whose shoes they may have once been in themselves. Over the last couple of weeks, the volleyball team hosted two big events: Middle School Night on Sept. 28 and Girl Scout Night on Oct. 3. On Middle School Night, the Patriots interacted with middle school volleyball players who came to learn more about the sport and the hard work and dedication it takes to play at a higher level. The varsity team spent some time talking about what the girls could expect when they get to high school as well as how to balance sports and academics. As an added bonus, between games, the middle school girls were able to show off their talents and serve on the main court in front of a large audience. Then, on Girl Scout Night, local first grade and fourth grade Girl Scout Troops were in attendance to earn their Respect Petal. The captains of the volleyball team sat down with the 35 scouts to talk about what it is like to respect authority, especially as it relates to sports. The Girl Scouts then stayed to watch the volleyball team perform and learn more about the game. |
