Purple Pride: Honor Society leads the way
The National Honor Society in Norwich currently has 34 junior and seniors dedicated to the organization’s demands for academic achievement and community service.
All members are required to maintain an average of 90 percent or better since beginning their freshman year.
National Honor Society Advisor Susan Fertig said the group looks not just at academic performance, but leadership skills, quality of character and participation in local community.
“Having discovered these traits in our students, the society seeks to encourage them even further,” said Fertig.
The Honor Society is currently preparing one of its many community events. On April 2, the chapter will host a dinner theater for over 60 nursing home residents in the Norwich area. The students will set up for the dinner and prepare the meal themselves. Afterward eating, the guests will be treated to a dress rehearsal of the upcoming school musical, “Oliver,” in the Norwich auditorium.
“Why did I join? Honestly it looks good on a college resume, my brother and sister were both members and it’s really good at getting people involved and giving back to the community,” said the Norwich chapter’s Treasurer Jamie Nassar, who is a senior.
Junior Josh Borfitz is also a member and agrees with his classmate.
“Any college that sees it will definitely think good things. But really it helps people. It shows you that you can be a part of something bigger and that you can have a close impact on the people’s lives. You see it firsthand,” he said.
“All of our kids are very active in the program and deeply involved with community. I just try to do as much service with them as possible,” said Fertig.
