Given a full week away from campus with a holiday, snow day, and remote learning, the High School Habitat for Humanity Club will reschedule its drive-thru Spaghetti Supper for a later date.
The Habitat for Humanity Club has organized a drive-thru take and bake version of its annual Spaghetti Supper fundraiser for families to enjoy on Wednesday, February 24. Be on the lookout for more details and registration information in the coming weeks.
The annual Spaghetti Supper raises funds for 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. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit that helps foster stronger communities by providing affordable housing and financial advising. The USN Habitat for Humanity Club contributes annually to this venerable nonprofit, both through donations and a home build in the spring.
The annual Habitat for Humanity Spaghetti Supper will be a drive-thru take and bake this year instead of taking place in the Sperling Cafeteria as pictured in January 2020.

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.
