National Honor Society recently inducted its 2009-2010 members in a ceremony held at Oak Grove United Methodist Church. Current club president Amy O’Steen, as well as club officers Anne Caroline Lovitt, Ashley McLeod, Shelby Sims, and Hailee Bradford, introduced new members to the organization with speeches, followed by a photo-op and presentation of membership certificates by sponor Suzanne Daughtry and Principal Wayne Folkes.
National Honor Society is an organization that allows its members to serve others through various projects and fundraisers. Before being accepted into the NHS, prospective members must have completed numerous hours of community service, as well as maintain a grade average of 95 throughout high school. As its first project, the club is currently accepting canned food and unused jackets for the needy. This Christmas, the club will sponsor an Angel Tree child and its members will collect money and gifts for a child in need.
The club held its first meeting on Monday, November 2nd, in Mrs. Daughtry’s room, and will meet again on November 16th to discuss the canned food and unused jacket drives
