Hey Guys!
As part of NEHS, you must all be very dedicated English students, right? :D
Well, many of the classes you take require for you to read certain novels. There are many ways to find free reading sources. Below are a few websites where you can access FREE books online. These books are usually classics, like books by Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, Joseph Conrad, and George Orwell. They have many more than that though!

Happy New Year!
Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season and winter break. I enjoyed spending some time with my family in Florida and managed to visit Orlando, Crystal River, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami. I am now rested and ready to begin the 2nd semester!
I would like to welcome back all returning members and congratulate those of you who earned 100 points 1st semester and are in good standing with the organization. Those of you who did not earn 100 points and would like to retain your membership have some work to do! I also would like to welcome the new members who turned in their applications in December. We will be inducting these members soon and look forward to seeing them at our meeting and activities!
We have many ideas about what we will be doing this semester, but welcome your input! Please leave a comment if you have an idea of something we can do, or some place we can go! Shortly, I will be posting the spring calendar, so keep an eye out.
