November 11, 2019
The Spanish National Honor Society held its first meeting with its new sponsor Maria Gorosito October 3. During the meeting, students received an explanation of what it would be like to be part of SNHS.
“It is a huge responsibility to be the sponsor of the SNHS, but in turn felt motivated by the new members,” said Gorosito. “Seeing their enthusiasm and ideas for community services as well as their expectations of their future seemed extraordinary to help and guide these students.”
One popular idea was to attend a hospital where children with cancer are treated during the Christmas season. It caught everyone’s attention when members promised to go to the hospital to see the requirements information and
schedule the visit.
Gorosito believes The Spanish National Society serves a unique purpose on campus. Having the goal of helping and motivating members of the latin community to fulfill their dream of going to university and obtaining their degrees. Also benefiting parents, organizing meetings to provide information only in Spanish as well as creating programs for members whose first language is Spanish to teach them the English language. As it has felt very supported by the language department by different ways some help her by providing new ideas or mentioning certain activities that used to before. While others supported her by talking about SNSH in their class by informing students what is required to join and motivating them to reach the required level.”
Roberto Portillo, teachers in the language department, spoke of innovative ideas as bring SNHS to Washington DC for meet all International Spanish Honor Societies. “It’s time to talk loud,” Portillo argued . Portillo also support some students how are interest to be part of SNHS , but they’re not at the level required motivating to keep with the Spanish class or getting AP Spanish Literature or AP Spanish Language.
Definitely, National Spanish Honor Society is come with the biggest enthusiasm ever seen in the past. Hopping this become true they ends the meetings.
