Winterfest activities start Monday, Feb. 5 for NHS students and staff.

Sophie Buel, representative for Sources of Strength, gave a rundown of how planning is going for Winterfest activities and what their main focuses were when planning.

“I think Winterfest has a really good focus on sources of strength, as every event is connected to a part of the wheel. Sports games are about physical health, the activities such as ultimate friends and copy paste (twin day without forcing it to be only two people) are great examples of positive friends. I think that it’s well organized this year so far,“ Buel said.

Monday, Feb.5 starts Winterfest activities with the sources of strength wheel section mental health. The dress-up for Monday will be pajamas, so get cozy! After school the French Club will be hosting sledding at Memorial Park for all students. Crush Can sales will be starting at lunch on Monday and are $1 per can.
