MORAL FOCUS
On Nov. 13, NHA students turned kindness into action for Project Gratitude, writing thank-you notes to veterans and active service members for World Kindness Day. Across 100 NHA schools, students wrote heartfelt notes of appreciation, celebrating the power of kindness, character, and service. With thousands of letters collected and our goal of 50,000, we are grateful for the effort and enthusiasm shown across our schools. Notes were delivered through Soldiers’ Angels to veterans and service members around the world.

Here's a video wrap up of the day.
