One of the basic principles of National Honor Society is community service. This year Clear Lake High School’s Semper Fidelis Chapter of the National Honor Society has been carrying out this principle with some new ventures.
    In December, the chapter decided to explore a new area of service and the members organized and carried out the collection of toys for the Toys for Tots program sponsored by the area Marine Corps Reserve. Most recently in another new endeavor, the chapter joined with the local chapter of the American Cancer Society to participate in the Daffodils Days Program.
    NHS members took orders for “Daffy Grams,” notes of encouragement to fellow students, teachers or administrators. The students and teachers who wrote the “Daffy Grams” paid $1 for each note and on March 11 the “Daffy Grams” and daffodils were delivered to students and teachers at CLHS.
    The CLHS NHS chapter raised $135 for the American Cancer Society. Students at CLHS agreed that both of these service projects conducted by the NHS were a good way to demonstrate that service can also have a fun side.
