The 2017 Induction Ceremony for new members will be held on Thursday, April 27th at 7:00 pm in the Halls Middle School Auditorium. We will be inducting 61 new members! A dessert and punch reception will follow in the cafeteria afterwards. Students will rehearse for the ceremony on Thursday from 11-11:45 am in the auditorium. Information about the Induction Ceremony will be given at that time.

 

Monthly meetings are normally scheduled for the first Wednesday of the month at 7:40 am, although this may change due to speaker's schedules or snow days. A message board in the 8th grade hallway will have meeting information posted, and meeting times will also be announced during morning announcements and with our text messaging service.

 

 

Speaking of text messages, NJHS uses a great text messaging service to bring members important announcements about meeting dates, meeting changes and service opportunities. It is a free service called Remind used by many Knox County teachers to keep in touch with students and parents.  All NJHS members and their parents are encouraged to sign up for messages by following these simple steps: Text 81010 with the message @17a38  If you have trouble signing up following these steps, try sending the same message to (865) 238-2193. Your cell phone number will automatically be enrolled to receive important text messages from Mrs. Miller. She won't be able to see your number, and numbers will not be given out to any third parties. You will receive automatic reminders about monthly meetings, as well as announcements about events and service opportunities. Of course, students should have parent's permission before signing up, especially if they do not have an unlimited text message plan. Parents are also encouraged to email Mrs. Miller at kathleen.miller@knoxschools.org to sign up for the parents' email group. Information about community service opportunities and upcoming events is sent out to this email group.
