Salisbury High School’s chapter of National Honor Society held its first blood drive of the school year. The blood drive was held Nov. 15 in the old gym at the high school. Students, staff and community members donated at this drive benefiting the Miller-Keystone Blood Center.

In addition to the blood drive, NHS is holding a pet supplies drive. Members are collecting pet supplies for Peaceable Kingdom and Feline Finish Line. Donations being collected include Purina One dog and cat food, toys, treats, collars and much more. Items being collected and then donated are due by Nov. 18. Also, Peaceable Kingdom is looking for volunteers at the Whitehall location. If you would like to volunteer, reach out to Peaceable Kingdom.

Salisbury Theatre presented the play for this year. Students performed “Radium Girls” Nov. 11-13. Some NHS members volunteered at this event each night and there was an excellent turnout at every show.

The Students Taking Active Roles club at SHS is holding Red Ribbon Week Nov. 14-18. Red Ribbon Week is a week dedicated to the awareness about drugs. Students can follow the dress-up themes established by the club. For example, on Monday, students can wear pajamas. On Wednesday, students will wear red to show their support of Red Ribbon Week. Friday concludes the week with an “anything but a backpack” day.

Key Club is still collecting items for the Holiday Hope Chest drive. Club members are collecting items for 2-18 year olds who are in need. Items being collected include toothbrushes, soap, socks, hats, gloves and more. Items, including shoe boxes themselves, are being collected until Nov. 21.

No Place For Hate is still working on their Language Wall. This organization focuses on students coming together and appreciating what makes everyone diverse. This wall will show derogatory phrases on hands which have hurt students in the past. NPFH will shortly have the wall finished for all students to see.
