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
Ellis students proudly participated in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients program that raises money to find cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma while providing information and support services to patients and their families. 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.

Pennies for Patients 2008
Over the next 3 weeks, we will be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphona Society's Pennies for Patients program. It gives young students the opportunity to raise funds for blood cancer research and services for patients. By collecting funds students learn quickly that every bit can make a big difference. We invite you to team up and help collect funds or contribute to the program through matching gifts or personal checks. Ultimately, kids can make a difference in the lives of others and will experience the powerful feeling that comes along with doing so. Thank you in advance for your support for this very worthy cause.
