Friday, November 12, 2021 – After nearly two years, The Pennfield Chapter of SOCIEDAD HISPÁNICA DE AMISTAD (Spanish Honor Society) welcomed seven new members.
Students were chosen because of their exceptional Spanish language skills and interest in exploring and promoting the cultures of the world’s Spanish-speaking countries. The Sociedad Hispánica de Amistad, is sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) and was formally organized in the year 2000. The purpose of the society is to promote cross-cultural acceptances and understanding in students of Spanish and to encourage service to school and community.
Two alumni members from Pennfield’s class of 2019 had siblings who were being honored. They returned to conduct the ceremony and led the inductees in reciting the pledge of the Society.
