The National Math Honor Society is making its return to Law.
Math teacher Mr. Ruzbarsky is the advisor for the National Math Honor Society. He is returning with President Aislinn Burns, Vice President Rishabh Nair, Secretary Angus Cheng, and Treasurer Elizabeth Ryan.
“We are excited to start this school year and to have new members join our society,” Ruzbarsky said. “We are looking forward to our induction of our new members, learning more math, helping with math, and sponsoring our school wide April Math Month challenge and Pi Day activities.”
The NMHS is currently looking for new members to apply.
Current members said they are looking forward to Pi Day activities and some April Math Month activities.
Although NMHS has hosted Pi Day in the past, they have not narrowed down exactly what activities they will do yet.
“We might do some of the same activities again but those decisions will start to be made at our first official meeting on October 25th,” Ruzbarsky said.
In past years for Pi Day, NMHS has hosted a school0wide math event in the TLC where students complete different activities such as Draw The Best Circle and Pin The Radius On The Circle.
For April Math Month, the NMHS has done a scavenger hunt and a Math Problem of the Day. They might do some of these again but those decisions will start to be made at the first official meeting on October 25.
Burns joined the club as a junior and is now the president. She is hoping for lots of new members this year.
“We have 12 members so far with inductions going on,” Burns said.
There are normally around 20 members but they hope to grow bigger this year after inductions.
Nair is excited for the NMHS to hold regular meetings.
“The meetings are quick, very relaxed, not super math-involved,” Nair said
Many members joined the club to discuss math, which is a common interest among them.
“I joined this society to further pursue my passion for math,” Cheng said. “As a member of this society, I’ve been able to improve my math skills and help others as well.”
Ryan said she joined the club to help others who are struggling with math.
“I joined NMHS because it’s nice to be able to help out anyone who may need some math help”, said Ryan.
