On Monday, 12/19, student athletes, Key Club members and NHS students visited the Oncenter today to help with the Salvation Army Christmas Bureau set up. They were a great group and worked hard separating toys and putting them on display for the shopping day.

Thank you to the chaperones who came and worked hard too!
We all look forward to next year!
