The weekend before break is jammed packed with several activities. With such events like the Aer concert, the Senior Prom Fashion Show, and Scholarship Sunday, there’s plenty to do.
Outback Teen Center will host hip-hop duo Aer on Mar. 24
Tomorrow night, The Outback Teen Center will be hosting the hip-hop duo, Aer. The concert is from 7-10 p.m. and will be hosted by Dj Ryyan Hova T.
Straying away from the annual March rave, the Outback’s Student Governing Board (SGB) thought to mix it up with this live musical performance. “We wanted to provide a fun event in place of the CAPT rave, while also bringing students back into the Outback,” SGB President Tim Casavant said. Tim, who attended one of Aer’s concerts in January, saw their growing fan base at NCHS and called upon Outback Program Director Erin McDermott to contact their agent.
While the concert will not be breathalyzed at the door, The Outback will have a breathalyzer on the premises. Students may be subject to a test if they appear to be under the influence of alcohol.
Tickets are sold out.
Seniors will show off the latest fashion trends at the Prom Fashion Show
“Fashion’s Night Out” will take place in the auditorium on Saturday at 7 p.m. to raise money for the senior post prom and will feature local stores like A Step Ahead, Skirtin’ Around, Rugby and Togs.
According to senior Hannah Femia, she decided to sign up to model because it has been a senior tradition she has wanted to be involved in. “It’s really fun to come together as a grade and be part of one of the last events in high school,” she said. “It’s something that we have been looking forward to since freshman year.”
Tickets will be sold for $20 at the door.
Students will go door-to-door in support of the Scholarship Sunday Fundraiser
On Sunday, Mar. 26, starting at noon, NCHS will host the annual Scholarship Drive where students go door-to-door to raise money for scholarships that will send their classmates to college. While all contributions, including those from businesses and families, are appreciated, student involvement can make or break the program. To get involved, students can sign up at a table in the cafeteria from Mar. 20-24. A ‘pep-rally’ will also be held on the 24th and is meant to encourage kids to come out and help raise more money each year.
Last year more than $36,000 were raised and over 76 students received scholarship money. In hopes of meeting, and exceeding last year’s earnings, co-chair Lisa Isherwood highlighted the need for student involvement.“We’re hoping that we can exceed the amount of donations from last year. I wish we could award money to everyone who needs it,” Ms. Isherwood said. “One hundred percent participation is a dream, if all kids came out, rain or shine, and walked and encouraged each other as a group, then we could get more students to participate.”
