South’s NHS students have a ball at charity event

Teens across the state danced the night away at the annual Charity Ball on Saturday night. Hosted by New Hampshire’s chapter of the National Honor Society, the dance gave students a unique opportunity to branch out and make some new friends. Students from high schools all over New Hampshire were invited to join, drawing a diverse crowd. NHS members and nonmembers alike could buy tickets for $30 for one student or $50 for a couple. In addition, Nashua High School South’s members even received NHS credit for attending. “I initially planned on going to the Charity Ball to earn credits for NHS, but the closer it came, the more excited I got about meeting other scholars around the state,” said senior Courtney Mansfield, a member of the NHS at South. Despite the fact that many students came with friends, comfort zones were transcended as groups mingled with each other.
