National Honor Society Officers
HONOR SOCIETY: A breakfast was held at Farragut
Career Academy, 2345 S. Christiana Ave. on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 for students,
and their parents, celebrating their induction into the National Honor Society.
The breakfast celebration was organized by Farragut teacher Mrs. Victoria Park-Keeney who has done
fabulous work with the students. These students have a high GPA, are involved
in extracurricular activities, sports, clubs and service learning. National
Honor students focus on college, service, leadership and character development.
The students are eligible for scholarships upon graduation. “I hope that in
spite of financial and other obstacles I can help them succeed so that they can
give back to their community,” said Park.
TONYA HAMMAKER, Interim Principal at Farragut said to the students: “We are here to celebrate your amazing accomplishment
of being inducted into the National Honor Society. Each of you have made great
achievements in the realms of Scholarship, Leadership, Community Service and
Character. Becoming a member of the National Honor Society is not an easy task.
I congratulate each of you and your parents. You are the best and brightest in
this school and I am very proud of you, as are your teachers, who are here to
honor you today. And, parents, thank you
for supporting your children in their academic pursuits. We wish you all
continued success in the future!”

EARTH DAY: Cleaning up the Little
Village neighborhood is a weekly chore. Volunteers and members of the Little
Village Community Council are always organizing clean-up campaigns throughout
the year. In the winter we shovel snow for seniors and the handicapped, then it
is spring cleaning followed by summer sweeping and trash pick-up. Members and volunteers
are reminded that we must take pride in our community by keeping our
neighborhood as clean as possible.
