Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, & Citizenship Celebrated at the National Junior Honor Society Ceremony in Sayville Middle School
Fifty-nine Seventh-graders and four Eighth-graders earned their well-deserved recognition at the 2015 Sayville Middle School National Junior Honor Society annual candle-lighting induction ceremony.
These industrious students have both maintained a grade average of 95 or above for four quarters as well as exemplified the five attributes—represented by five candles—of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, and Citizenship required to become a member of the prestigious National Junior Honor Society. Middle School Principal Thomas Murray and NJHS advisor Mrs. Lloyd-Matthews were proud to welcome the inductees and their families for the evening ceremony.
Assisting with the celebration, Eighth-grade society members participated in various capacities: opening with the Pledge of Allegiance (Emily Manning), describing the five attributes: Scholarship (Eric Gustafson), Service (Hannah Rose Niggemeier), Leadership (Amy Tomko), Character (Sara Holmes), and Citizenship (Avery Rosado), announcing the inductees (Sierra Boyce, Simone Carniaux, Julia Kaczmarek, Abigail Sneddon), and lighting the symbolic candles (Madeline Recker). After all the new members received their certificates and handshakes from Mr. Murray on stage, they returned to their seats where current member Harrison Bench led the inductees in the NJHS pledge.

Congratulations to all.
NJHS is the leading organization that recognizes exceptional middle-level students who have successfully demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character throughout their Middle School years.
