The Churchville-Chili Chapter of National Honor Society (NHS) welcomed 104 new members to its ranks in a ceremony at the C-C PAC on November 7. The presentation included messages from the newly elected club officers and the 2017 Churchville-Chili Teacher of the Year, Loren Inglese.
The four new NHS officers were selected in September. Senior officers this year are: Jon Sanfratello (President); Quinn Metcalfe (Vice President); Jenna Prewasnicak (Treasurer) and Maria Esposito (Secretary). Each of the officers shared a brief message with the audience on one of the four criteria for membership in NHS: leadership, character, service and scholarship.
Social studies teacher Inglese was nominated for the Teacher of the Year award last spring by current members of the NHS and then chosen by officers. The honor goes to a teacher who makes a real difference in the lives of students. Inglese teaches U.S. History and Government, AP World History, and Holocaust and Genocide at the high school.
During the ceremony, current members escorted new members across the stage while biographies from their applications were read by the club officers. District Superintendent Lori Orologio, Senior High School Principal Scott Wilson, NHS Advisor Paul Glor and Teacher of the Year Inglese addressed the audience and then greeted and congratulated each student personally. New members received a certificate and signed their name in the club registry.
“I’m excited about working with this great group of kids for the next two years,” said Glor. “We are already deep into planning for a number of upcoming community service events.”
