(North
Bergen, NJ—December 18, 2014) The High Tech National Honor Society (NHS),
moderated by veteran Language Arts teacher and Department Liaison Joan Marie
Bellotti, recently sponsored its annual Book Swap, a popular five-hour event,
held in the Resource Center of the North Hudson Center of Hudson County Schools
of Technology, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech High
School.
Students and staff brought
gently used books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, and even VHS cassettes to swap for
other such media. Everyone had the
opportunity for even swaps.
Held twice a year in the
winter and spring, the NHS Book Swap proved to be a successful and enjoyable
means to recycle used items. This year,
students, faculty, and staff donated about 300 items for swapping. After all of the items had been swapped,
students had the opportunity to partake and own remaining items.
