Measuring a part with robotics coach Aaron Dalton, sophomore Luke Freyermuth observes the measurements. Freyermuth said that while creating a robot is a positive experience overall, it does require a time commitment. “It’s rewarding to complete a robot,” Freyermuth said. “It’s also a lot of work. You have to design it, build it, overcome any design challenges you might encounter.”

For participants of the ALS walk, junior Kate Hanchette and NHS club sponsor Carol Toney distribute water bottles among bins. Toney decided to participate in the walk because she wanted to help a cause that connects to her personally. “My brother-in-law was diagnosed with ALS in 2013, so he has been battling ALS for the past eight and a half years. ALS is central to our family because my husband is also a caregiver for him,” Toney said.

At the ALS walk Oct. 9, NHS members begin unloading water bottle packages from the cart. “My favorite part about the walk was that we were able to come together to help a great cause,” committee leader Ella Bartoski said.

At an information table, junior Eden Pfannes puts caps on ALS Walk water bottles. Pfannes chose to volunteer because the cause connected to her in a personal way. “I chose to volunteer for the ALS walk because my grandpa passed away because of ALS. Since the walk was working toward the prevention of ALS, I thought it was good both for the good cause and honor of my grandpa,” Pfannes said.

At the walk, juniors Kiyoko Nakano and Gabriela Hejde help at the registration table. Nakano collected donation forms and passed out wristbands to walkers. “My favorite part was getting to interact with the families of those who have been affected by it and those who actually have ALS and getting to hear their stories,” Nakano said.

At the ALS walk registration table, junior Eden Pfannes asks if they need help checking walkers in. Pfannes volunteered in the Kids Zone doing face paint and temporary tattoos for kids, but moved over to registration to see if she could help. “I really enjoyed volunteering with the rest of NHS. It was fun working together and setting things up as well as participating in the events with them,” Pfannes said.

For those participating in the ALS walk, juniors Macy Attebery and Gianna Cusumano put water bottles in bins. Cusumano chose to participate for two main reasons. “I needed the community service, and then I did it last time, and I really enjoyed it, so I did it again,” Cusumano said.
