GoingGoingGoingGoingGoingWhat’sWhat’sWhat’sWhat’sWhat’s99 Wheatley Students Inducted Into NHS
About two-thirds of the junior class from The Wheatley School was initiated into the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) at the induction ceremony and reception during the evening on Thursday, Nov. 3.
To be considered, the 99 students had to possess high standards in scholarship, leadership, character and service. Candidates had to maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.33, contribute to the community through service work and receive favorable ratings and letters of recommendation from leaders in the
school and other areas of their lives.After the student processional,
Allison Chanin-Bermudez, the NHS advisor, welcomed the attendees. NHS President Lianna Golden then introduced the keynote speaker. Retired professor Russell Kane, who used sign language as an interpreter, spoke his words of encouragement, expressed the challenges he faced as a profoundly deaf student and how he rose above them to become a professor for more than 25 years. A member of NHS himself, Kane shared how hard he worked to achieve his goals and told the stu-dents they were in excellent company with accomplished NHS members
from a cross-section of careers.Under the direction of Angela
Luftig, the talented Honors String Ensemble provided a pleasant interlude as they performed “Red Rhythmico” by Kirt Moiser.
Seniors Michelle Lin, NHS trea-surer; Golden; Justin Spar, NHS vice president; and Lauren Levine, NHS secretary, spoke of the exceptional standards for the four pillars NHS students should possess. Laura D’Angelo, NHS activities coordinator, and Alana Conroy, NHS webmaster, then introduced each student on the stage and read a quote that candi-dates had provided regarding an ac-complishment they were most proud of. Some spoke of their community service achievements, which ranged
from volunteering in a science lab to helping special-needs kids learn to play baseball. Students were handed an NHS certificate and a pin as they exited the stage. Led by Golden, the inductees recited the NHS pledge in unison and were inducted.
The newest members of Wheatley’s National Honor Society include Sufia Ainechi, Adeel Anwar, Hallie ArbitalJacoby, Hailey Ardizzone, Samuel Avila-Frank, Michaela Balboni, Matthew Baltzer, Ananya Bansal, Eric Beierlein, Rachel Bergsohn, Jason Bergstein, Brett Bloomberg, Jake Bogan, Devin Brancato, Nicole Bruder, Kimberly Calamia, Thomas Chang,

Principal Dr. Sean C. Feeney presented the concluding remarks, stating how proud he was of each and every student.
Throughout the evening, the consistent message acknowledged the significant accomplishment, but stressed that this was just the beginning. Students shouldn’t strive for the minimum community-service requirement to remain an NHS member in good standing, they should help others because they will be enriched, too. And, while they’re striving to do their best, it’s OK to fail. Students should experience lots of things. If they just aim to be perfect, they’ll miss plenty of opportunities to experience life and find their path in the world.
