FELICITACIONES A TODOS LOS MIEMBROS!

By Mr. Vazquez
We said goodbye to 13 seniors, and 23 juniors were inducted. The ceremony started off with a speech by Ms. Manfredi about the importance of learning a language such as building cultural bridges and empathy. After this, a powerpoint was presented to parents by the president, Ellie Wells, vice presidents, Nevin Joshy and Jonah Lathrob, treasurer, Hannah Brit, and secretary Van Lampos. This presentation included various projects, fundraisers, and achievements that LOLHS’s Spanish Honors Society achieved this school year. Shortly after this, there was another presentation given by a guest speaker, Claudio Denoya. Dr. Denoya is from Argentina with a PHD in biochemistry and molecular genetics. He spoke to LOLHS parents and SHS members about the significance of striving to navigate through obstacles that are presented to you while finding a future career path and profession. When he finished, there was a loud round of applause, and everyone headed to the cafeteria to continue celebrating. Every student brought in a latino or hispanic cultural dish, dessert, drink, or appetizer. Then the parents, SHS members, and guest speaker all sat down and enjoyed the food and company for about an hour, until the party came to an end.
