La Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, as the organization is called in Spanish, is similar to the National Honor Society. Only students in their third and fourth years of Spanish are eligible to become members. To earn membership, students must prove to be responsible and keep a solid Spanish GPA. Students in Spanish 3 must have a Spanish GPA of at least 3.5 and those in Spanish 4 must have at least a 3.2. In the past, students in this organization have collected school supplies that were delivered to an impoverished school in Belize and an orphanage in Ecuador. In addition, many participated in a toy drive collecting Christmas gifts for children in Peru. Students have also written Spanish essays, poems and stories that have been published in a Spanish language magazine called Albricias.
Last week, returning members and new inductees were honored in their Spanish classes for their dedication to learning Spanish and for the excellence with which they have done so. The
Don Quijote chapter of La Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica is proud to welcome back our two year members Ella Carroll, Landan Escoto, Chloe Kerschner, Robert Moody and Holly Swan. As second year members, this group received a pin for their academic letters. In addition, senior members received red and gold (the colors of Spain) honor cords for their upcoming graduation ceremony. This year we have two new members from the Spanish 4 class: Samuel Berruecos Morales and Silvia Camilli. The chapter also welcomes one new inductee from the Spanish 3 class: Sophomore, Jabari Etuk. All of these students are extremely hard workers and many have a gift in learning languages. Their advisor, Spanish teacher Julianne West, believes it is a privilege to recognize their achievement. Congratulations for being consistently high achieving foreign language students.
¡Felicidades!
