FRUITA 8/9 NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY

This year, our NJHS club hosts meetings the second Wednesday of every month. During these meetings, we plan and carry out our larger projects such as Water for Life as well as smaller service projects to do in our school or local community, and we have fun in the process!
