Serving our Community

Hi NHS students! Right now there is a need within our community for additional personal protective equipment or PPE that we have heard so much about. In an effort to respond to our community during this time, NHS is attempting to help create face masks for members in our community.  Participation in this activity is not required, but if you have the time and supplies feel free to help! Please view the video to the right to learn how to make a face mask. If you decide to make a mask please take a picture and share it with your group leaders!
