This is another reminder that when everybody contributes what they can to a common cause, no matter how much or how little, we can collectively make a huge impact in our community.

— Niki Johnnson, Student Council Advisor

During the November food drive (November 4-8), NPHPS students collected 4,444 food items, which weighed  2,322 pounds.  With school enrollment currently at 1315, that’s about 3.38 food items or 1.77 pounds of food per student donated to the Peace Center.

Student Council Advisor Niki Johnson said, “This is another reminder that when everybody contributes what they can to a common cause, no matter how much or how little, we can collectively make a huge impact in our community. It also reminds me of how our students will rise to the occasion and surpass expectations when they are invited to help and make a difference.”
