On Saturday, January 28, 2012, FVHS’ very own National Honor Society (NHS) and Operation Smile (OPS) hosted their annual joint ice skating event at The Rinks/Anaheim Ice.
This fundraiser has been a tradition between the clubs for about 4 years now. Both clubs – NHS and OPS are both great clubs. NHS rewards those with high academic achievement, and OPS is a 100% non-profit club which raises money kids in poverty needing reconstructive lip surgery.
Rosie Toumanian (’12), co-president of NHS felt that “it was a successful night that has become a tradition with in the NHS community.”
The night also posed as a fun night out with friends and family as a celebration for the end of the first finals of the year as well as helping a good cause for both clubs.
Students and teachers alike (a certain teacher made an appearance with her kids) arrived at The Rinks/Anaheim Ice all bundled up ready for a fun night of ice skating, and they weren’t disappointed. Many participants learned to ice skate for the first time, while more experienced others got to flaunt their skills. Afterwards, as the ice skating session came to a close, Barons dropped by the snack bar to pick up nachos, hot chocolate, pizza, and other snacks to refuel.
Co-president of Operation Smile Victoria Le (’12) had a great time with her friends and club as well. “It wasn’t as a success as hoped [financial wise], but everybody had fun and every little bit helped, so overall, I guess it was successful in a way,” she commented.
Overall, it was a fun and beneficial Saturday night our for all, as Barons zipped across the ice, raising money for kids all around the world.
