On Apr. 7, the annual Scholarship Sunday Drive was hosted at NCHS. The Drive, which is the one of the biggest fundraising events for the NCHS Scholarship Foundation, is supported by volunteers who go door-to-door asking for monetary donations from community members. On Sunday, groups students received maps of their local routes at NCHS, and then set off to walk or drive them.

When Craig Kielburger was just 12 years old, he stumbled across an article in the newspaper that told the story of Iqbal Masih. Iqbal, like Craig, was just 12 years old, however his young life was one plagued with slavery and child labor. Craig was inspired when Iqbal spoke out against child labor and learned that such a little voice had the power to make a great change.
