PENGUIN PROJECT

Penguin Project for Port Huron Hospital Festival of Trees

Middle School Students raised money for the Port Huron Hospital Festival of Trees which benefits the Hospital Foundation. Students had a contest between grades to raise the most money for the hospital. This year, 6th grade won! Each class dressed and decorated a penguin, which will be on display at the Festival of Trees.

NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY

The National Junior Honor Society welcomes students in grades 7 and 8 who have an exceptional academic record to join our leadership and service group. Induction is held in November and service opportunities take place all year.

Following are pictures from a 2012 service project of assisting our local Society of St. Vincent dePaul in providing Christmas gifts for local families and a 2013 project where students made fleece blankets for the Oncology Ward at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

MATHCOUNTS
