Westfield Spanish National Honor Society welcomes new members

Subhead

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”.

In March, returning members and new inductees will be 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 Jameson Abbott as our only two year member.  Jameson will also be awarded the chapter’s Award of Excellence.  Winners of this award are published each year in the “Albricias” magazine and online on the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica homepage.

There are also two additional seniors being inducted as new members:  Connor Robinson and Kaylee Solesbee.  All senior members will receive red and gold (the colors of Spain) honor cords for their graduation Virtual Student Kaylee Solesbee, a Senior, was welcomed to the Westfield Spanish National Honor Society..

The chapter also welcomes the following new inductees from the Spanish 3 class: Trista Drew, Samantha Meyer and Kiera Thiede.

All of these students are extremely hard workers and many have a gift in learning languages.  It is a privilege to recognize their achievement.  Congratulations or ¡Felicidades!
