PEM High School National Honor Society

PEM High School National Honor Society members were honored during a ceremony recently at the site in Plainview.

NHS co-advisor Kristy Ranta said the current student members accumulated 2,788 service hours this past school year.

According to the Plainview News, Macy Wozney, a semi-finalist for the NHS National Scholarship, earned a scholarship worth $3,200. And Molly Eversman, Emma Tentis, Chelsey Holtan and Macy Wozney each earned $200 American Red Cross scholarships.

HS accomplishments this year included: donating $852 to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and 1,600 pounds of food to the Plainview Elgin Area Food Shelf through the Haunted Woods and Trick or Treating for Food events.

Hosted three blood drives, in which a combined 97 pints of blood were donated enough to save 291 lives (the number of pints also earned the NHS $1,000 in scholarships.) 

Donated $1,200 to the Feed My Starving Children program, as a result of NHS’s Valentine Gramsale in February and they packed enough meals at the annual Feed My Starving Children event to feed 88 people for a year.  

PEM High School National Honor Society members donated more than $5,000 to the Forever 8 Foundation to honor the memory of PEM third-grader Kambryn Ronningen, as a result of hosting Kambryn's Karnival in March.
