GREENWICH - On Monday, October 6 at 7:30 p.m., the Greenwich
Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted seventeen new members
at the ceremony in the high school
auditorium. The ceremony began
with a processional featuring the senior members, carrying candles, set
to classical music. Senior member
Janelle S. Whitman sang The National
Anthem and then the four officers delivered speeches on the most important qualities according to the society.
President Chandler Hansen spoke
about scholarship, Vice President Alexandra O’Brien talked about the importance of leadership, Treasurer Sofie Hoerning spoke about service, and
Secretary Laura Strasswimmer gave a
speech on character.
After the speeches, each of the senior members tapped the new induct-
ees. The new members were led onto
the stage, given a certificate and a National Honor Society pin and donned
green robes. Once everyone had been
tapped, President Chandler Hansen
led new and current members through
the induction pledge. After the induction pledge, the new members were
led out by the senior members with
a candlelight recessional. A reception
was held in the library for families and
friends of the new members.
The inductees were Peter Simoneau, the son of Peter and Christine
Simoneau; Thomas Nevins, the son
of John and Karen Nevins; Lukas
Whitehouse, the son of Eric and Angie Whitehouse; Caitlyn Robertson,
