TASC Service's Holiday Paper Bag Decorating for Martha's Kitchen
TASC Service student leaders are hosting a “Holiday Paper Bag Decorating” event in Pardini during lunch and academic collab on Thursday, December 19. Save your paper grocery bags and bring them with you. Markers and stickers will be provided (we'll have some extra paper bags, too). All bags will be donated to Martha’s Kitchen for food distribution with holiday cheer! TASC Service members will also be there to answer service questions. Please note that no service hours will be rewarded, as we are not working face to face with a community. We are participating out of the goodness of our hearts!

Pre-Season Lacrosse Workshops
Interested in learning/building lacrosse skills before trying out for the team? The lacrosse team will be hosting student-run pre-season workshops so students can practice basic skills like throwing, catching, cradling, and even how to hold the stick. This is not a commitment to the team or tryouts, so if you are just curious about the sport or looking for a fun activity for you and your friends, you're welcome to join! No experience or equipment is needed. Workshops will be held on select Tuesdays and Fridays after school from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in Pardini Park. Winter sport athletes are ineligible to participate and students who are in leadership groups can join after leadership collab at 3:05 on Fridays. Fill out this
form to join the email list and email co-hosts Laila (lheigre25@ndsj.org) or Elodie (emccomber25@ndsj.org) with any questions.
