Annie Sims holds the National Elementary Honor Society induction ceremony.

Annie Sims Elementary School held its National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) induction ceremony on Tuesday, November 1. Forty 4th graders became members of the Sims chapter of the National Elementary Honor Society before an audience of proud family members, teachers, administrators, and friends. NEHS recognizes 4th-grade students for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility. In addition, the organization seeks to provide meaningful service activities for students to both the school and the community and to develop essential leadership skills in elementary school students.

New members Zahra Abbas and Moriah Eskew led the pledges to the United States and Texas flags, and Daniel Crabb handled the invocation. Students and audience members listened as chapter officers described the essential characteristics of an NEHS member.

The 2022-2023 school year officers are President Dominic Villanueva, Vice President Sebastian Cates, Secretary Carter Cameron, and Treasurer Isabella Alvarez.

Annie Sims Principal Jeannie Pat Jaggers thanked the family members for their involvement in their student’s education and praised the students’ achievements. Guest speaker Stephanie Guzman, an Annie Sims student once, told the students about making up her mind to work hard at an early age and how that determination led her to become a Nurse Practitioner.

New members of the Annie Sims Chapter of the National Elementary Honor Society are Zahra Abbas, Kael Aleman, Isabella Alvarez, Victoria Brown, Carter Cameron, Khloee Castro, Sebastian Cates, Jaxon Chambers, Jennifer Cigarroa, Daniel Crabb, Gael Cruz, Oscar Cruz, Moriah Eskew, Eli Fernandez, Kelly Flores, Anna Gandara, Nathan Garcia, Leeanna Garrett, Jake Jones, Shayla Macareno Ayden Marshall, Alejandra Martinez, Joseph Martinez, Nathaniel Martinez, Samantha Martinez, Annalie Mata, Isabela Meeks, Jaden Morton, Nathaniel Orduna, Genesis Ortiz, Olivia Parslow, Joseph Perales, Esmeralda Rosales, Sebastian Sheppard, Jaxon Terry, Roberto Valenzuela, Sandy Vargas, Dominic Villanueva, Jaretzy Villeda, and Kaydence Williams.
