T-shirt Sneak Peek

We were given a small sneak peek at this year's NEHS shirt today....

Shirt orders were completed this week and all new members will be receiving a short-sleeved t-shirt. Returning members and new members were given the option to purchase long-sleeved t-shirts and hoodies, which will be the same design and colors.

All shirts will be ready for pick-up beginning after school next Friday, in T-10!

On various days throughout the year we ask NEHS members to wear their shirt and promote NEHS school wide. You would be surprised what an impact 120 students all wear the same shirt can make! The first day we will all wear our shirts is Friday, Sept. 11th. This is the night after our induction ceremony and will demonstrate the unity we all will share. Spread the word!

Wow - Information Meeting Overload!

We had about 200 students show up for the NEHS meeting today. Wow. We totally didn't expect that kind of turn out! If you did not receive an application, please pick one up from T-10 or T-3 tomorrow. All applications are due Monday to Mrs. Lusher.

All members MUST also sign-up for the NEHS google group. Click on the link on the right side of this page.

Reminder!

The first NEHS meeting of the 2009-2010 school year is tomorrow (Monday, 8/17) at 2:30pm in T-10!! Get there early to get a seat! We are so excited to see everyone back for another AWESOME year with NEHS!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to another great year at NGHS! Your sponsors and officers already have a great year planned for you! Make sure you pick up a flier on Open House night from your English teacher or stop by T-10, T-3, or T-4.

We will have our information meeting on Monday, August 17th at 2:30 in T-10. This is when the officers and sponsors will address all questions and go over the requirements. The applications will also be given out. This meeting will last about 30 minutes due to the amount of information we have to give you.

We will have our first official NEHS meeting the following Monday, August 24th at 2:30 in T-10. This meeting will be very short and we will be collecting money and applications and taking t-shirt orders. Most likely it will be over by 2:45pm.

We are also very excited to announce our speaker series for this fall. We have many prominent professionals from around Atlanta coming to speak once a month on their profession and how it relates to English/Literature/Speaking/Writing/Etc. These speaker series are MANDATORY (like your induction ceremony) events. You must clear your schedule now for these once a month events. They will last approx. 30 minutes - 1 hour (depending on the speaker). If for some reason you can not attend, please see one of the sponsors to be excused.

Our August Speaker Series will be on Monday, August 31st at 2:30pm, location TBA. The speaker will be Matt Felten from the Shakespeare Tavern. You may remember him as Hamlet, Puck, or Tiny Tim from last year's performances we attended. He will be speaking on his career and he will have an extended Q & A session.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you very soon!

End of the Year Picnic

Well, the year has come and gone. We've had a fantastic time this year! Thank you so much to all the officers, graduating seniors, and underclassmen members! You guys make this club everything it is, and each year it just gets better and better.

Yesterday we had out End of the Year Picnic, Awards Ceremony, and Officer Induction Ceremony. Despite unfavorable weather, we all had a great time! Congrats to the seniors, our scholarship award winners, and new officers!



Thank you again for a great year, and we look forward to seeing you all back again next year!

Hamlet

Last Friday, NEHS went on a trip to see Hamlet at Shakespeare's Tavern!

Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most notable works, so seeing it on stage was a great experience, especially watching it be performed by actors we were already familiar with through A Midsummer Night's Dream and A Christmas Carol.

Overall, the play was fantastic and everyone had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures! :)

Farewell, Hello~

Dear NEHS members,

I want to thank you all for making another great year

at NEHS.

As a member-at-large, I was able to take on the responsibilities

of being an officer of this organization.

But most of all, I take with me from this year,

all the wonderful memories of outings, celebrations, and

laughter we shared together.

I hope it was the same for you too.

Also, as the new NEHS President,

I say hello to you.

I hope to make the 2009-2010 school year

another exciting year at NEHS with all the support

and help from the new officers and members.

If you have any concerns, questions, or comments,

please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thank you,

Seo-Eva Kim
