A.  FROM  NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY                                                                                

The theme for the DeSales chapter of National Honor Society for this school year is Stewardship. As stated in the Bishop Ireton handbook, "We are stewards of God’s creation. We have the duty and responsibility to care for all the gifts that God has given us." In the spirit of caring for what belongs to us-our school, Honor Society members will fulfill a 10 hour service requirement each semester by serving as runners, picking up newspapers for recycling and helping with the school clean-up day as well as other projects. Faculty, administration or staff of Bishop Ireton must sign off all service hours.

 

Junior and senior students with a cumulative average of 3.5 or higher are eligible to apply for membership in the DeSales Chapter of the National Honor Society. Letters inviting these students to apply will be sent to advisories on  October 7. Students will be evaluated based upon their leadership, service, character and scholarship. The following are the rubrics that will be used to help determine membership into the National Honor Society. These rubrics are based on the guidelines in the National Honor Society handbook. Students will be expected to receive a minimum score of 9 from a committee composed of the NHS advisors and selected faculty members. In addition, students will also submit evidence for consideration in the form of an application.

To pick up gym attendance-go into the gym and ask the teacher present for an attendance slip. Give all attendance records to Ms. Whitley.
  5. The person picking up the attendance sheets should return to area outside the library to be available to run errands for administration, guidance teachers, and parents.

The administration and also your NHS moderators are very eager that this service be available at all times, so the following has been determined.
