After school on Thursday, Feb 25, a group of students began the process of slicing the sleeves and bottoms off of T-shirts. There will be a group meeting again on Tuesday, March 9 to finish the project; anyone who is willing is welcome to help. </li> <li>Senior Joe Payne slices a Superfan shirt from last year to make bed mats. Payne took the opportunity to help Haitians as well as get NHS involved in a community service project. </li> <li>Seniors Leslie Ulm and Bailey Knapp tie T-shirt strips together and roll them into balls in preparation for creating the mats. The strips will be sent to Haiti so that the people of Haiti can learn to weave the mats with the materials we have provided.</li> <li>Senior Tanner Gardiner holds up a finished bed mat.
