Wallace Middle School holds National Elementary Honor Society induction

P. E. Wallace Middle School held its National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) induction ceremony on Thursday, October 27. Seventy-nine sixth-graders were inducted as new members of the Wallace NEHS Chapter.

Before an audience of family members, friends, and teachers, the inductees heard an explanation of the four pillars of NEHS: Leadership, Responsibility, Scholarship and Service. They received their certificates of membership and recited the NEHS pledge. Mount Pleasant High School senior and MPHS National Honor Society Treasurer, Perla Guzman, served as the guest speaker. She challenged the students to incorporate the four pillars of NEHS into their daily lives and gave examples of how NHS membership has helped her be the best version of herself.

The Wallace NEHS chapter recognizes 6th grade students for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility. The organization seeks to provide meaningful service activities for students in both the school and the community and to develop essential leadership skills. They are also required to attend monthly meetings and to participate in other chapter service projects and activities.

“The Wallace Chapter of the NEHS will be working with Communities in Schools and the National Junior Honor Society to serve our community,” said Wallace NEHS Advisor, Dana Armstrong. “Our very first project begins soon. The group will be working with CIS collecting canned and boxed goods for families in need during this upcoming holiday season. The members will also make Christmas cards for the local nursing home and those serving our country. In the spring we will work with NJHS to collect items for one of the local nursing homes. The officers will continue to work closely with the advisors to determine others ways the chapter can serve our community. Mrs. Davis and I are blessed to lead a wonderful group of students and look forward to watching them grow in serving others.”

Chapter Advisors for the Wallace Middle School NEHS are Dana Armstrong and Tammy Davis.
