On Wednesday, Apr. 29, the International Baccalaureate Honor Society (IBHS) held its annual induction, which officially welcomes the new club members. To be inducted into this club, a member must fulfill a minimum of 12 volunteer hours/points received through various IBHS events like Bridge 4 Peace, Adopt-a-Freshman, Mentoring Minds, etc. The event started at 6:30 p.m. in the school’s auditorium, where parents and students excitedly waited to be officially inducted into the prestigious club.

“I hope to uphold the reputation of the club in my year as president, organizing events thoroughly and keeping ahead of deadlines,” 2015-2016 IBHS President and junior Maya Iskandarani said.

The ceremony began with this year’s President, Marianna Babboni and Bridge 4 Peace Secretary Alexa Alcalay congratulating the inductees for their hard work and contributions to the club. A few words were said by club sponsor Ms. Van Wyk, and then students made their way onto the stage to receive a ceremonial white rose.

Once all of the students returned back to their seats, the new board members for the 2015-2016 school year were announced.
