SHS’s chapter of National Honor Society is hard at work this semester with several beneficial events. After another successful Valentine’s Day flower sale, NHS helped run both a Senior Citizen Breakfast in the school cafeteria and a free afternoon of Bingo for prizes at Ahavath Torah Congregation. They also raised some money with the annual candy sale.

These events prove worthwhile for the chapter when its members see the smiling faces of those who attend. The guests love to tell stories and show pictures of their grandchildren while they listen to members of the teenage generation. Many senior citizens come for a day of excitement and a change from their daily routines.

Upcoming events include three walk-a-thons in which NHS members plan to participate by walking, handing out water to runners, and overseeing the general goings-on.

For those sophomores and juniors not already involved as a National Honor Society member, keep your ears open! Announcements for picking up applications will come soon. To all juniors who are already members begin thinking about who you want to nominate as officers! Elections will be held in an after-school meeting once the seniors leave.
