Selden Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society recently wrapped up its band-aid drive. The National Junior Honor Society members led the school’s fun-friendly competitive effort, which resulted in over 200 boxes of band-aids being donated to Cohen Children’s Hospital.
“I am incredibly proud of our students. Our National Junior Honor Society members meet on a monthly basis and complete a minimum of 12 hours of community service. Throughout the year, the members participate in various activities such as clothing drives, book drives, fundraisers, and many other school-related activities,” said Andrew Bennett, Principal of Selden Middle School. “Thank you to everyone who donated band-aids and I am looking forward to seeing what else our students will come up with to give back to our wonderful community!”
Currently, there are 43 eighth-grade students at Selden Middle School who are in the National Junior Honor Society. The students wore bright, colorful, or character-related clothing during their school-wide Spirit Day to kick off their fun band-aid drive.
“Our National Junior Honor Society students make a commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. They are not only leaders in the classroom, but they also seek to make our school and world a better place,” said Jacyln Rose, National Junior Honor Society Advisor. “These students continue to blow me away with their drive and sense of community. I am so proud to advise them and provide them with opportunities to demonstrate their outstanding qualities and be recognized for all that they do!”
