Jonathan Law’s Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society has chosen its members and club leaders and has begun volunteering in the community 

On October 29, the NSSHS voted via a Google Form to elect their club officers. 

“We have a great group of officers who are eager to get this club up and running,” NSSHS Advisor Mr. Zuraw said. “They are very organized and motivated.”

The club elected Raymond Dong as President, Jessica Brocksom as Vice President, Jack Bretthauer and Emily Lo as Treasurers, Grace Hess as Secretary, and Sarah Ahmed and Addy Barber as Public Relations Chairs.

This club is a recent development for Jonathan Law and was brought to life by current president Raymond Dong. 

“What made me run for president was my desire for social studies and civic engagement which are valued highly by society,” Dong said. “Another key factor to take into account is that I worked, researched, and founded this society during my junior year.”

The leaders of the club are very enthusiastic about their new positions. They are dedicated and hope to make waves in the social studies department and set an example for the school. 

“I chose to run for this position because I have always liked social studies and I wanted to show others why the subject is so great,” Brocksom said.

The officers are not only coexisting together but are thriving. They have come together to create a promising future for the club. 

“I think it’s a great group of people who are very hard working, and I think that we will get a lot done to have a great year,” Barber said. 

To kick start the year, the NSSHS recently hosted a volunteering event – a “Trunk or Treat on the Lanes” Halloween-themed event at Bowlero’s. 

“We volunteered at Bowlero’s ‘Trunk or Treat on the Lanes’ where we set up themed booths and gave out candy to children,” Ahmed said.

The club is hoping to move forward with more volunteering events that are similar to this. The goal is to help the community in any way that they can. 

“We plan on continuing to give Rho Kappa members volunteering opportunities so we can be present members of our Milford community,” Ahmed said.
