National Honor Society Brush Up

       With the beginning of the school year comes the NHS’s annual participation in the “Brush Up Nebraska” Paint-a-thon. Mount Michael’s National Honor Society has participated in the project since 2001. This year over 30 members of the NHS met at the 132nd and Maple Street Target store from which they proceeded to their project home. The swarm of NHS members completed the house painting in about 2 hours.

      “Brush Up Nebraska” began in 1989. Its purpose is to organize and provide volunteers to paint and fix up the homes of low income elderly and low-income disabled homeowners. This year the organization surpassed the 2000 home mark for homes painted over the last 18 years
