Operation Smile - See Jordan!

Interested in transforming children's lives and helping them to smile?  Interested in a fun service opportunity?  If so, come to the first meeting of Operation Smile, a service organization devoted to raising money for children with facial deformities such as cleft lips and cleft palates.  With the support of this organization, thousands of smiles can be healed through reconstructive surgery.  The first meeting will be in room 310 during Wednesday's Activity Period.  More information about the organization will be shared at this time, and officers will be elected for LHS's first Operation Smile.  If you're looking for a rewarding project, as well as an opportunity for community service, this club may be for you!

Each class is being given the same materials (all blue and white items) and the class with the most creative use of said materials will be awarded the spirit points for that activity. For each activity there are points for second, third and fourth place as well. The materials are being divided by the class officers and will be sent to morning meetings by Tuesday via the class advisors/officers.
