(CR News) - This past Monday was the induction ceremony for River’s National Honors Society chapter, where both juniors and seniors were recognized for their academic performance during their freshman and sophomore years. NHS president Savannah Reynolds, advisor, math, and psychology teacher Matthew Sakow, and principal Alex Otoupal all gave congratulatory speeches, informing parents and inductees about what NHS stands for. Each student then received an NHS token before signing their names on the NHS poster.
The National Honor Society plays an important role at River, whether it’s empowering students in positions of leadership they’ve never experienced, or giving back to the community through volunteer work. Congratulations to all students that were inducted on Monday and keep up the good work!_____________________________________

Each student then received an NHS token before signing their names on the NHS poster.
Sakow explains NHS is a “national organization that recognizes students for their service, character, leadership, and scholarship.” It’s an exclusive organization in which students need to have at least a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above. If you meet the candidacy requirements, Savannah Reynolds tells CR News “the faculty council decides if you are in or not.” Sakow says that the first action they will take is to help clean up the stadium and field after the homecoming game this Friday.
Reynolds emphasizes the importance of the National Honor Society, “because it’s so prestigious and it’s specifically student-led,” which she says allows “students of all ages and all backgrounds to take on a leadership role that they might not have anywhere else.” Reynolds adds NHS “recognizes the work that they have put in their Freshman and Sophomore years.” Sakow believes “if we are gifted and we’ve been successful, we should pay it forward to others.”
