Attention Seniors:  In less than a month, on January 10th – 12th, Senior Banquet tickets will be on sale at a reduced price of $75.  Tickets will be sold after school on the 10th and 12th and before school on the 11th.  Mark your calendars.  This is a great event that you are sure to want to attend so why not save the $10 and buy yours early.  Tickets will be sold again in May, but the cost will go up to $85.  Please see the email that Dr. Dirda sent to all of you from the senior class advisors on December 7th for more information regarding the sale and other upcoming senior events.  Information is also posted in the NASH Weekly Newsflash.

Attention DECA competitors!   The departure time for the DECA District Conference is now 7:30 a.m. instead of 9:10 a.m.!  Students should report to the front of the school to board the buses by 7:20.   Check your email and read Remind messages for important conference updates.  You also need to sign up for a bus by the end of the school day or you will be assigned to one.

Also, DECA Competitors are asked to take a few dollars to the district conference on Thursday.  A Miracle Minute will be held at the awards ceremony to collect donations for the PA DECA state charity, the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The Ronald McDonald House provides comfort, support, and resources to families who travel far from home for the medical care their child needs.  Please be as generous as possible. All DECA members are reminded to bring in aluminum can tabs to Mrs. Sullivan in Room 249.  The tabs also support the Ronald McDonald House.
