The goals of students who participate in National Junior Honor Society are scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship, and all students, whether they are members or candidates, will strive to meet these goals which they have chosen to attain.
This year's National Junior Honor Society officers are Matt Sweiss, Mike Snooks, Tom Pappas, Brenna Donegan, and Catherine Quinn, and they have already been instrumental in developing the following activities:
*A tutoring/homework help program in which current members and candidates provide their services to students in need of academic help
*A Taffy Apple Sale in which the proceeds of the sale are being used to purchase candy bars that will be sent to troops in Afghanistan along with letters that have been written by the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students
*A Halloween Dress-Down Day for students in 4th-8th grades in which donations of 50 cents will be collected for the American Cancer Society
NJHS members and candidates are required to complete twenty-four service hours (12 in-school hours and 12 out-of-school hours), and these hours should be completed by Friday, April 16th. If you know of an organization that is in need of student volunteers, please do not hesitate to contact me, Kelly Johnson, at the following email address: kajohnson@stlinusschool.org.
