The Spanish National Honor Society was established to recognize students who have shown an extended excellence in the study of the Spanish Language throughout High School (you must have two years of High School Spanish). Its purpose is to create a spirit of excellence not only in academic studies, but in integrity and character. Each SNHS member is called to serve our community and KC faculty and staff. We help by tutoring Kreinhop Elementary ESL students, recycling, and participating in school events to name a few. Members also have the opportunity to run for office, therefore increasing their chances to win scholarships.

Our next meeting will be on January 21st.
The second Thursday of the month was during finals.. so we pushed the meeting back one week.

MEMBERS BRING YOUR HOURS SHEETS TO TURN IN!!

SNHS meetings are held every SECOND THURSDAY of the month.

Next meeting: January 21, 2010

Meetings are held in T-15 (Mrs. Smith's room) at 2:35 P.M.

Idea 1: Plastic Bag Bonanza is an effort to recycle plastic bags in order to do our part in helping our environment. Each SNHS student is asked to collect plastic bags and bring them to T-15 for a total of 25 pts. Feel free to collect bags for ALL your service pts for the year! However, if you are a junior who wants to run for office at the end of the year, I wouldn't recommend doing just this (hint, hint).

Why recycle? Click and find out: www.houstonbeautiful.org/recycle.htm

Idea 2: Sign up to tutor ESL students at Kreinhop Elementary. Contact Kylie your Vice President if you want to help. This will take place on Wednesdays. So make sure you are available on that day before making this commitment.

Idea 3: If you ever need more points you can always help Mrs. Smith around the classroom (filing, organizing, creating birthdays cards for faculty/staff, typing, cleaning up, errands, etc). You can email Mrs. Smith or stop by her room and ask.. "Mrs. Smith, how may I help you?"

Shirts have been in for the past few weeks, we have two or three shirts still available if you want one. They are 10 dollars.. we cannot guarantee it will be the size you want though.
