TRIVIA FUNDRAISER - "Are you Smarter Than a 9th Grader?"

Are you smarter than a 9th grader??

Do you love trivia at The Chieftain? Do you love Derek Herber running trivia at The Chieftain?

Do you really know North Attleboro businesses and landmarks -- past and present?

Does your trivia team have what it takes to win the top prize -- a $100 gift certificate to the Chieftain?

Need to get out?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then stop by the NAHS Trivia Fundraiser at the Chieftain on Sunday, March 7, from 2 - 7 p.m. The event is hosted by the NAHS alumni association and all proceeds will benefit the enhancement of technology at North Attleboro High School.

Tickets, which cost $10, will be sold at the door. Light refreshments will be served and The Chieftain will run a cash bar. Trivia will start promptly at 4 p.m. and feature 5 rounds of questions -- all orchestrated by trivia guru and NAHS history teacher Derek Herber.

Teams of 5 or 6 people may enter. Each member will be asked to contribute $5 to play. Traditional raffle items and a 50/50 drawing will also be available.

We hope to see you there! Thanks for the support!

NEXT MEETING - ALL ALUMS ARE WELCOME!

The next meeting of the NAHS Alumni Association will be held Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 6 p.m. in Mr. Herber's room at the High School. Please join us if your schedule allows.

NAHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SEEKS NOMINEES FOR FOURTH ANNUAL AWARDS PROGRAM

Nominations are now being accepted by the North Attleboro High School Alumni Association for its annual awards program designed to recognize the achievements of graduates, staff, and long-time supporters of the school.

The Association will present awards in five categories at its fourth annual awards banquet in May, 2010. The selection committee, comprised of both board members and "at-large" community advisors, is accepting nominations through January 29, 2010.

The awards will include the Joseph W. Martin, Jr. Distinguished Alumni Award, named after the distinguished graduate of the class of 1902. This award will recognize the outstanding professional, personal and civic achievements of the men and women graduates of North Attleboro High School.

In addition, awards will be presented to young graduates of the past 20 years who have distinguished themselves by their achievements at a particularly early age in their professional, personal or civic endeavors.

Educator excellence awards will recognize current or past staff members at North Attleboro High School for exceptional commitment to excellence in the classroom and/or dedication to the students, staff and the school.

The Association will also present honorary alumni awards to non-graduates of North Attleboro High School who have made positive and substantive contributions to the school.

Finally, new for the 2010 awards program will be the introduction of an Alumni Community Impact Award which will recognize the accomplishments in and commitment to the North Attleboro community by North Attleboro High School graduates.

The Association invites the public to offer nominations for any of these five awards by submitting the candidate’s name, address, contact information and a 50-word narrative describing the individual's qualification for one of these awards.

Nominations may be sent to the selection committee via e-mail to info@nahsalumni.org, or by standard mail to NAHS Alumni Association, ATTN Awards Selection Committee, North Attleboro High School, 1 Wilson Whitty Way, North Attleboro, MA 02760. All e-mails must be sent, and all standard mail must be post-marked, no later than January 31, 2009.

NAHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHES NEW CLASS AGENTS PROGRAM

The newest initiative from the NAHS Alumni Association allows graduates to take a more active role in the group by volunteering to serve as a Class Agent.

As the association grows and expands it's programs, it is aiming to establish more direct links and points of contact with at least one member of each of the school's graduating classes.

In addition to serving as the liaison between the Alumni Association and their fellow classmates, Class agents will help generate news for the group's seasonal e-newsletters, suggest potential nominees for our annual Alumni Awards program, and maybe help identify potential donors who can help us meet our annual fundraising goals.

Anyone interested in serving as a Class Agent is invited to e-mail NAHS Alumni Association Secretary Jack Johnson (Class of '80) at jjohnson@naschools.net
