MJHS NJHS Remembering Seniors This Season

The members of the National Junior Honor Society at Marion Junior High School helped spread a little holiday cheer this season by handmaking Christmas ornaments for the residents at Willow Bend Nursing home. Pictured are the members with their ornaments. Teacher Jenny West, one of the sponsors of the organization, suggested the idea to the members who immediately took interest. 'With my own father being ill recently, it began to tug at my heart that older people need to be remembered at Christmas time too,' said West. 'Senior adults love to receive anything from children and teens, especially something from their hearts.' Together, the members made nearly 100 ornaments and wrapped with a handwritten note. The chapter is sponsored by Amy Shumate and West.
