Design a National Honor Society T-Shirt! 

Don't forget to submit a T-shirt Design! The chosen designer will receive 10 points! We've already received some great designs, but submissions are open until Oct. 31. We want to have an awesome shirt for our yearbook picture and to wear at events! Guidelines are as follows:

• May be in black and white, or color (try to limit to one or two colors to keep the cost of the shirt down)
• May be front and back
• Include the words ‘National Honor Society’ or ‘NHS’
• Include the words 'Fountain Valley High School' or 'FVHS'
• Try to incorporate our Baron head, NHS logo (torch), and/or the four main pillars of our club CSLS (Character Scholarship Leadership Service)
• If the design is hand-drawn, it must be converted to an electronic file format that can be presented to the club for voting

One last thing! If you attend the meeting, don't forget to check in with Jaime! If you leave before the meeting is over, your point will not be counted, even if you already checked in.
