(North Bergen, NJ—December 8, 2015) During November, as part of its commitment to service to the community, the National Honor Society (NHS) honored servicemen and women, past and present, with a Veterans Day exhibit and charitable contribution to Operation Beachhead, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech.
On November 11th, Veterans Day, the NHS took the opportunity to thank those who devoted their lives to this country by exhibiting photographs of High Tech’s family and friends who served in the U.S. military. The National Honor Society dedicated a star or flag in the serviceperson’s name that hung in the Mall Area at the North Hudson Center.
“We wanted to thank those family members, friends, former students, and colleagues of High Tech,” says Joan Marie Bellotti, Language Arts instructor and co-moderator of the High Tech National Honor Society with Social Studies teacher David Polito, “in order to bring awareness to our community of the sacrifice of our men and women.”
Also, the NHS raised and donated $700 to Operation Beachhead. Operation Beachhead offers veterans, troops, disabled individuals, and their families adaptive, recreational sports and social activities, including surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
