The 2025 NHS Spirit Week was a record-breaking celebration of fun, competition, creativity, and supporting meaningful causes!
Students embraced this year’s College Game Day theme with exciting dress-up days, decorations, and more. From a lively talent show and intense hallway decoration contest, to sports nights and trivia, the week culminated in an unforgettable Blue and Gold Games.
The success of the week was a team effort, with both students and staff contributing to building school spirit and supporting several local charities.
Throughout the week, our Lions achieved amazing things:
· Raised $926 for Special Olympics at the first Polar Pop event (Thank you, Ms. Erica Rudesyle & Unified Bocce)
· St. Baldrick shirts sold out almost immediately and six people volunteer to "brave the shave" at the upcoming event on March 15.
· Over 100 cat toys made for donation (Thank you, Ms. Sandy Serafin & Animal Awareness Club)
· Over 1,000 handmade cards for children in hospitals (Thank you, National Honor Society, Ms. Alicia Anderson, & Ms. Staci Shade)
· 400 lbs. of trash picked up during campus clean-up (Thank you, Environmental Club, Ms. Carey Lever, & Mr. Leo Macdonald)
· 14,000 lbs. of cans going to food banks throughout Bucks County
· A truckload of donated sports equipment going to students in need
Drumroll please...a total of $22,045 was raised and donated to the Children's Miracle Network to support kids in area hospitals--over DOUBLE of what was raised last year.
Although both teams did a fantastic job, the Blue Team took home the win at the end of the week.
A special thank you to Mr. Jon Gonsiewski for his leadership in making this initiative a reality.
Congratulations to the entire NHS team for their outstanding efforts in making this year’s Spirit Week truly one for the record books!
