Whiz Kids

The newly announced members of the National Junior Honor Society at Dodd Middle School*:

• Olivia Palmer, President
• Alex Fumo, Vice President
• Katherine Wang, Treasurer
• Aru Rajeevan, Secretary

Elected by their peers, these students will play an important role in every aspect of the National Junior Honor Society.

In the spring, the NJHS members plan to create gift baskets for children who are patients of Yale-New Haven Hospital. The group also will work to increase awareness of how local civic groups help the community. The students will support outreach activities about unique cultures, including their traditions and values.

Members must have at least a B average grade to be nominated for the society. They must also have volunteered in the community or school, be good leaders who are dependable and organized and be good citizens who understand civic involvement. The final requirement is to possess good character in terms of morals and ethics.
