Your New Year. Your Next Level.

|
|
|
A new year means a fresh start - not just for NTHS, but for you as a student and a leader. This is your moment to reflect on how far you’ve come, both in and out of the classroom, and set goals that challenge you to grow even more.
January is the perfect time to step up in your NTHS chapter, get involved in meaningful service, explore future career paths, and try something new that pushes you toward your goals.
Ask yourself these questions and be one step ahead!

Career Pathway Spotlight - STEM
|
STEM is everywhere this time of year! From the chemistry behind our favorite winter treats to the engineering that keeps holiday lights glowing, STEM helps power the season. We know how everyone loves creating their own videos, so here is a fun holiday activity to try!
|
|
|
|
Stop-motion animation is a fun way to turn your holiday ideas into a short, animated video. You can create a 10 to 20-second holiday scene using simple materials like paper figures, clay, LEGO pieces, or small decorations by moving your characters a little at a time and taking a photo after each movement with your phone, tablet, or computer.
|
|
|
|
Through this activity, you can learn how animation works while practicing skills like timing, sequencing, storyboarding, lighting, and basic video editing using free apps or built-in editors. This project also gives you the chance to work as part of a team. Make it a chapter activity!
Have a fun competition between several teams, with roles like director, animator, set designer, and editor, and your finished animations can be shared at meetings, on school social media, or during a holiday event.

Chapter Highlight: St. Clair TEC
|
Outstanding Service through Community Commitment
|
Michigan's St. Clair County Technical Education Center's NTHS chapter has once again shown what it looks like to take the Core Four Objectives and turn them into meaningful action. Their service work demonstrates a deep commitment to community needs, student leadership, and the spirit of giving that defines an exceptional NTHS chapter.
|
|
|
Two major service efforts stood out last year for their impact and student engagement: participation in the Port Huron Kiwanis Club Polar Bear Plunge and volunteering as official Salvation Army Bell Ringers. Each project showed the chapter’s ability to unite students, staff, and the community through purpose-driven service.
The Polar Bear Plunge brought more than 200 students and staff together to brave the icy waters of Lake Huron during a winter snowstorm, all to support the Kiwanis Club’s efforts to help children and families in need. The chapter’s presence was both impressive and inspiring, with their team raising a remarkable $4,367.24.
