The purpose of the French Club is to learn about the French culture. French students are also provided with an opportunity to practice the language outside of the classroom. Members meet weekly and are in- volved in such projects as raising funds for the Jacques Cousteau Society, World Vision, CARE, and JOY FUND. The Club participates extensively in the Foreign Language Festival which took place at Lynnhaven Mall this year. French food, also an important part of the French culture, is sampled at the International Dinner held in May. Au Revoir!

The purpose of the National Junior Honor Society is to promote scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. The meetings are bimonthly and membership is by invitation to eighth and ninth graders. Ninth graders are inducted after the first semester and eighth grade selection occurs in May. Honor Society members serve each year as guides for the PTA Open House and hosts at sports banquets. They raise money to donate Thanksgiving baskets and to give to a charity at Christmas by collecting dues, sponsoring a school dance, and other fund raising activities. A new project started this year involved tutoring at the elementary school level by members of this organization.
