Monday Memo
March 23, 2015

Get Ready for National Student Leadership Week with this Pop Quiz!
In just one month, National Student Leadership Week will play out across the country. We recently sent a little test to the advisers for all NASC, NHS, and NJHS chapters, and we thought we’d share it with you too for fun.
Name these individuals:
- I was an American aviator, the first woman to fly the Atlantic, and the first person to fly solo across the Pacific. I inspired women to defy gender barriers in pursuing their passions.
- I was the primary leader of India’s independence movement during British rule and an architect of nonviolent civil disobedience.
- I am a Summerville, SC, student who founded Katie’s Kids to help youngsters and communities across the country create and maintain gardens to supply produce for soup kitchens and homeless shelters.
You’ll find the answers at the end of this message. In the meantime, these fun questions are our way of reminding you that it just takes ONE individual to make a difference.
We hope your school will take the opportunity to make “The Power of One” a meaningful experience for this year’s National Student Leadership Week. Remember, NSLW takes place April 19–25, 2015.
Please share your school’s plans and experiences on Facebook or Twitter, too. Use #nslw15 to be part of the collaboration, and visit www.nhs.us/nslw, www.njhs.us/nslw, or www.nasc.us/nslw to learn how to get involved.
More power to you!
