Leave dinner up to the High School's Habitat for Humanity Club on Friday, April 16, and join us for a drive-thru spaghetti supper.
By Claire Thompson '21
Every year the Habitat for Humanity Club hosts a spaghetti supper to raise funds to build a home for a family in need, but this year will look a little different. The Habitat for Humanity Club will host a drive-thru version of the annual spaghetti supper from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 16. Families can preorder their meals now; deadline to purchase is Thursday, April 15.
The meal includes a take and bake layered pasta dish, garlic bread, and fresh salad with a serving size of four people, and a cookie dessert for four. Each meal is $25, and extra donations can be made to the club through the registration link. Drive-thru pickup details will be sent to registrants.
All of the proceeds will go to the USN Habitat for Humanity Club with the goal of raising money for USN students to help build a home for a deserving Nashville family. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, as well as a regular beef option.

Winged Deer Park and trails in Johnson City hosted our 4th race on Sunday October 11th, and despite a bit of hurricane outwash winds and showers - and reduced team numbers due to fall break and distance from Nashville - our racers utilized all available skills and fitness aquired which helped “wing" Sophomore Claire Dehner to a 4th place podium spot, our first podium appearance and medal for the season.
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
Middle School volleyball and tennis teams are nearing the final games of their seasons, with the competition heating up while the Tigers play to determine their HVAC rankings.
