Student-ran booths like HOSA, NHS, Tri-M Music Society, SPEAK, Peer Leaders, WeACT, Relay for Life and more. Relay for Life decorated bags to light up during their overnight ceremonies. WeACT promoted “kindness grows” with coloring. Another booth had diamond art to relax students. NHS had stress management tips. There was even a college planning help table available to give information to students applying to college.
