    What is "La Societa'?
         The "Societa' Onoraria Italica is a nation-wide honor society created specifically for those who study and love the Italian language and literature. It is sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Italia (AATI).  It was established at John Jay in the spring of 2003 and includes new members each year, who remain an active part of the group until graduation
     
     
    Who can become a member?
    Students in the Italian program - beginning in sophomore year- who have maintained an average of 88% or better in Italian are considered eligible candidates. 
    As they participate in the events sponsored by the organization and show willingness to belong, they earn the necessary credit for formal induction, thus becoming "official" members 
     
    What is la Societa' involved in?
    Our overall goal is to promote the Italian language and culture in our school, our community and our families, but we take on a variety of tasks and goals each year, based on the group's interests.  Some mainstays are our participation at the holidays to sponsor a local family in need - with donations of food or money as needed.
    We also usually chose a charity to sponsor and do fundraising activities for this purpose.
    Each year we pick one major activity that includes our school population - such as a soccer tournament, a Carnevale dance or a Christmas pageant.
