NJHS inducting new members
Students of Cedartown Middle School will soon be recognized for their academic achievements in a special installation ceremony being held this week.
Students at Cedartown Middle School will be celebrating on Thursday night as they are inducted into a special organization that honors their academic achievements.
The National Junior Honors Society (NJHS) will be installing dozens of new members to the group during a ceremony on Thursday starting at 6 p.m., and friends and family from the community are invited to take part.
NJHS members take qualify to join if they go a full semester with a letter grade of A in each subject and no behavior complaints on their records, and have to maintain the A average in all subjects in order to remain a member.
They also have to complete service projects based, like the school’s Chick- fil- A calendar sale, classroom supplies drive, a Christmas toy donation drive, Christmas Caroling at local Nursing Homes, Teacher Appreciation Week Teacher Gifts, and hosting the CMS Valentine Dance.
Students are rewarded for participation and keeping up their grades is an out-of-state trip with or without their parents as chaperones (several still go with the group, as with all field trips.)
This year, the group is planning a trip to New York, and rotate year to year between there and Washington, D.C., and a third random choice within the United States like Philadelphia, Boston or Chicago, as examples.
