Dream BIG!
By Emily Winters,
NHS and Senior Class Reporter
Members of the Halls High School
National Honor Society recently paid another visit to their
Fourth Grade Pals. During this visit, dreams soared as the high
school students instructed the children to write their goals on
a paper cloud. The fourth graders also learned about the founder
of St. Jude, Danny Thomas, and his dream of helping children who
were diagnosed with cancer. The NHS members reminded the fourth
graders that no dream is too big — and if they work hard enough
— it will become a reality.
Touring the Windy City
Two Halls High School students recently took a
trip to the Windy City with HHS teacher Gara Strong to attend a
L.E.A.D. Conference on behalf of Halls High School’s Student
Council.
At the conference, held in Chicago, Illinois, HHS
student council members Casey Crockett and Brittany Ward enjoyed
meeting new friends, experiencing leadership games and
activities with renowned motivational speakers. The girls also
had a chance to visit the Art Institute of Chicago and go
sightseeing and shopping in the city.
HHS NHS visit features Christmas Cheer, Jolly
Old Elf
By Emily Winters
NHS & Senior Class Reporter
The Halls High School National Honor Society
brought Christmas cheer and a surprise visitor on its December
visit to Fourth Grade Pals at Halls Elementary School.
The high school students instructed their pals to
make Christmas cards for the children of St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital.
An unexpected guest from the North also joined in
the fun: Mr. Santa Claus himself. The children were excited at
Santa’s early arrival, gratefully accepting the candy canes he
brought to them. Santa Claus also explained to the children the
importance of making good grades and being the best they can be.
