National Honor Society collecting gently used clothing and shoes

Dec. 21, 2009—The National Honor Society is currently collecting gently used clothing and shoes to support individuals and families in need throughout the United States and third world countries. Students, staff and community members are encouraged to make donations. NHS will be paid four cents per pound for the clothing collected with all proceeds going directly to the student group's charity of choice at the end of the school year.
