 SHAKESPEARS OTHELLO
Mr. Granieris English class concluded their study of
Shakespeare's Othello with a re-enactment of the last act
on the PHS stage. Students honed their comprehension
skills and decoding abilities with a thorough class study
of vocabulary and syntax of Shakespeare's writing. Mr.
Granieris direction increased students understanding of
the stage and helped usher the class into their debrief of
the plot, characters, and underlying themes. More im-
portantly they gained a deeper appreciation of Othello as
a performance piece.

On Thursday January 26, 2017 the Pennsauken chapter of the
Irez Ramirez
National Honor Society proudly inducted its newest members in a
beautiful ceremony that included parents, administrators, teachers Megan Flaherty
and friends. The evening was filled with speeches given by the Na- David Raymond
tional Honor Societys officers along with their advisers and our prin-
cipal, Mr. Gregory Munford. After each candidate lit a candle to signi- Mariah Gordian
fy their induction, everyone was invited to attend a small reception in Leonardo Reyes
the cafeteria hosted by Mr. Keith Meloni and the PHS food service
staff. The pastries and cakes were a delicious way to end an incredibly Peter Huynh
proud night for everyone involved in celebration of our wonderful stu- Keishla Sanchez
dents here at Pennsauken High School.
In fact, Pennsauken continues to honor the long standing tra- Alex Labenski
dition of the National Honor Society which dates back to 1921. It is the Lauren Schneider
nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding
high school students. More than just an honor roll, the NHS serves to Gabby Lau
honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas Papea Son
of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. The ability of the
inductees to excel in so many impressive areas is what sets them Kaitlyn McGowan
apart, and their claim to membership in this most prestigious organi- Medina Talebi
zation.
Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their Daoud Ahmed Moon
accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through ac- Christiana Van
tive involvement in school activities and community service. The Na-
tional Honor Society recognizes not only scholastic achievement, but Joshua Negron
also a students exemplary service to their school and community. It Andy Nguyen
also marks a commitment to persist in searching for ways to serve oth-
ers while striving for excellence in leadership and in life. In 2017, we Christina Nguyen
honor the following students and wish them continued success in their
lifes journey. 3
