Here are the new FNHS inductees.

On Thursday, April 12th at 5:30 pm, Academic Magnet hosted its annual French National Honor Society Induction in the Judith Peterson lecture hall. Baguettes, eclairs, croissants, and several other refreshments were provided for those who attended.

Students who maintained an A each quarter in their French class were invited to attend the ceremony and become a part of the club. Co-Presidents Michael Pi and Eliot Leadem gave opening remarks and discussed the work the members do to engage in Francophone culture.

Treasurer Mason Leath lead the new inductees in the pledge: “Par ce flambeau, ce symbole du transfert des connaissances, je m’engage à continuer sans relâche mes efforts pour m’instruire et transmettre aux futures générations mon amour pour la langue et la culture françaises.” This translates to: By this flame, a symbol of the transfer of knowledge, I promise to continue my efforts to further my knowledge and pass on my love for the French language and culture to future generations. Secretary Janie O’Shea handed out candles and passed downed the flame from one end of the stage to the other in order to commemorate the student’s dedication to the language.

Dr. Altman gave the closing remarks and acknowledged the graduating senior members for their years of hard work dedicated to not only French as a class, but also crêpe sales and peer tutoring. The money raised from the fundraisers has been donated to Save the Children in Francophone countries.

The students of AMHS National French Honor Society would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Altman, Mr. Jent, and Ms. Spencer for all their help, support, and hard work this year. I wish the best of luck to the rising officers, members, and future inductees of FNHS!
