The Good Knights is a group that was designed to recognize and reward students who demonstrate great initiative, effort, sportsmanship, achievement, improvement, attendance, citizenship, and respect in school and community activities. Starting after the 2nd marking period, students are recommended by teachers and elected by their peers to serve as role models and positive representatives of Neelsville.
The Good Knight members participate in a number of activities designed to recognize achievement and help the community. In previous years we have raised money to provide relief to hurricane victims and to fight Juvenile Diabetes, we have helped raise awareness of the genocide taking place in Darfur, Sudan, and we have made holiday door decorations for patients at Children’s Hospital. Already this year we co-sponsored the Hispanic Heritage Month trivia contest, and volunteered for Reading Night and Neelsville Day.
If you would like to volunteer or know of additional community service opportunities, please contact Ms. Nachlas or Ms. Lynch at 301-353-8064 or by e-mail at Sarah_B_Nachlas@mcpsmd.org or Christina_L_Lynch@mcpsmd.org. We welcome all who would like to volunteer with the Good Knights throughout the school year. We are always looking for new opportunities to help the community and recognize the achievement of our students.
