Annual Events

Below we have listed the Committee Chair or main contact for each event. Take a look and decide where you want to get involved, then reach out by email.

The HNJ Men's Club organizes many of the traditions our school community looks forward to each year. From the Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Trees to Men's Club on the Avenue, these events raise funds, build friendships, and create lasting memories for our students and families.

Whether you're volunteering for the first time or have been helping for years, there's always a place to jump in and be part of what makes HNJ special.
