What is Service?

Service is a building block in the foundation of our future. Small courtesies rendered today tend to develop into major services for tomorrow. By serving our fellow man in minor ways, we are stengthening our character. Only through aiding others will we form the sturdy backbone necessary for strong good government. In this day and age it is impossible for anyone to completely isolate himself from the rest of the word. Service is a must. It is striving and laboring for others. The members of NJHS will constantly strive to put others before their own pleasure, help those who are less fortunate than themselves, and will serve in every possible way their school, community, and country.

Individual/Independent Service is a member's responsibility to engage in service project(s) developed from his/her own particular talents or interests. The project may not directly benefit a member's family, nor can the member of any other party receive financial or other compensation for service rendered.

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill

Congratulations to Ellis Students and Faculty

During the 3-week period, the school raised $1778.00. Mrs. Amy Box's homeroom collected $499.00 and was rewarded with a pizza party. Ms. Johnson's homeroom worked very hard and collected $293.48. All teachers and classes put forth much effort to make this program a success. Start saving your spare change for the 2009 Pennies for Patients.
