The National Honor Society (NHS), founded in 1921, encourages not only high school students' academic excellence but also service to their communities and an active participation their schools. As such, NHS members engage in ongoing community service, food collection for the needy, and charitable giving.
The Sacopee Valley NHS Virtual Read-a-Thon Library is among the projects students adopted for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. Participants selected well-loved stories to feature and developed their own video recordings to share with the entire Sacopee Valley School District and families residing in its own and other communities via a website that can be revised and expanded over time.
