Attention all Nash!  Our annual Canned Food Drive this year begins today! Every 50⊄ equals one can, and daily awards will be given.  Each student who brings in 20 cans or more will be entered into a raffle for an award, including a free pass to an athletic event or stage performance or MORP. The homeroom with the most cans at the weeks end will receive a donut breakfast. Only 20 cans = one raffle ticket entry.

This year our goal is 10,000 cans and all proceeds will be going to the North Hills Food Bank. We CAN do this NASH!!!!

Today after school YOU have the chance to hear from people who are currently working as nuclear engineers. They are coming HERE to NASH to talk to you to give you an idea what to expect in college, starting your first job and in the field.  These are people with fascinating resumes and work opportunities they have already done…and they are planning even more. this is a great way for you to get a glimpse of what awaits you after high school, in a comfortable, conversational environment.  The various engineers there have a variety of undergraduate and graduated degrees – Materials Science, Nuclear Engineering, Chemical Engineering. They have a range of ages and backgrounds. What do they have in common? They are all women….and all interested in helping the next generation of engineers and scientists get started.  This is sponsored by Hashtag STEMinism, but you do not have to be a member to attend – this is open to everyone in the school. See Mrs. Ruffolo for a pass or for more information to attend today after school from 2:30 – 3:30.
