Led by the efforts of Wilbraham & Monson Academy faculty member Fabienne Dubois, eight students were inducted into the French National Honor Society Nov. 29 during a ceremony at Morrow House.
Abigail Lacey '19, Julia Puppolo '20, Emily Fafard '20, Jeremy Dubois '21, Nolan Lorenzana '20, Xiaojing "Emily" Du '20, Tendo Kalule '21 and Karin Yamaoka '21 received official certificates and pins as members of Société Honoraire de Français.
The society, which began at WMA last year, is based on a student's scholarship (in all subjects), service and citizenship.
Quotes
Madame Dubois on why it's important to have a French National Honor Society at WMA: "It's encouraging to students, and it's another accolade for them for college as well. (It's a good opportunity) to recognize their hard work."
Madame on what it takes to be inducted into the French National Honor Society: "You have to be really motivated because not only are you dedicated to great grades, but you have to be involved. This is for students who are curious about Francophone culture, who want to master the language. You have to do more than the normal student."
