Paulette Beta Club members have secured their place in the National Competition.
For the past few months, National Beta members from Paulette have been working hard to prepare their entries for the National Beta Convention.
The club originally competed and received awards during the state convention held in November. Their victories at the state level provided an opportunity to compete at the national level.
The National Convention, held in Louisville, Ky., provided all students the opportunity to compete. Over 5,000 Elementary Beta (grades 4-5), 8,000 Junior Beta (grades 6-8) and 7,900 Senior Beta (grades 9-12) students were able to represent their schools this summer.
In June, the Paulette Beta Club members celebrated their hard work when announced as winners of the following competitions:
Woodworking (Briar Smith) 10th place, Beta Serves 9th place. The group also competed and had excellent marks in the Robotics Competition and one member, Avery Branscomb, danced onstage as a premier performer.
The Paulette Beta Club has 22 members, two sponsors, and has been a club for 12 years and counting. They hold multiple fundraisers a year and do service work for the community; this includes food drives, winter clothing drives, KARM volunteer work, and many more activities.
Beta Club students learn to become leaders and to serve others while building character and holding on to academic excellence.
With more than 500,000 active members and 8,750 clubs nationally and internationally, National Beta has become the nation’s largest independent, nonprofit, educational youth organization.
National Beta promotes the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership among elementary and secondary school students. National Junior Beta includes grades 4-8 and National Senior Beta includes grades 9-12.
