Here's an Opportunity to Make a Difference!

NJHS Parent, Kari Williams, forwarded this information to our organization.

What a great opportunity to reach out and help your peers throughout the region!

Personal care products for needed for students Increasing demand for items like hygiene kits, lice kits, socks, tooth brushes and combs that make it easier for students to attend school. Boxes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and school supplies are headed  to many dozens of children throughout Michigan as part of the Dress them  for Success program. DHS staff began shipping out the personal care products and supplies  last week to schools and DHS offices in 22 counties that participate in  Pathways to Potential. Dress them for Success is being expanded because Pathways success coaches  have noted an increasing demand for items like hygiene kits, lice kits, socks,  tooth brushes and combs -- items that make it easier for students to attend school. Research has shown that children will struggle in school if they do not have  the necessary tools and supplies to be successful. A key goal of Pathways  is to remove barriers to school attendance. DHS worked with Kits for Kidz, a company that provides the non-profit community  reliable and affordable alternatives to purchase essential products for the  disadvantaged children in their care. Dress Them for Success, which began in 2012, has ordered more than 6,000  school uniforms for students in more than 200 schools statewide. >> CLICK HERE TO MAKE A DONATION <<

Happy New Year! Meeting 1/7/15

The new year is a great time to take stock of your personal and academic goals. I like to set short and long term goals at this time of year in both personal and professional areas of my life.

The media put a lot of attention on New Year's resolutions that are about perfecting oneself, especially in the areas of personal appearance. Try to resist paying attention to this information. Rather, set goals for yourself on continuing to develop your inner skills and strengths and building your capacity for giving back to others!

When school starts up next week it will be time to gear up for semester exams. Remember, keep these exams in perspective and don't allow yourself to get stressed out. Strive for your personal best but always set attainable goals.

See you Wednesday morning at our January meeting. We will meet in room 300 (old woodshop) across from the gym. We will be breaking into small groups to do a team building activity and share our short and long term goals. We will also hear from the sub/committee regarding spring NJHS activities.
