We will hold a Parent Information Meeting for Jr. Beta.

Topics will include Beta Points system, expectations, and information on the 2019 Jr. Beta Convention trip on Thursday, September 19th at 6:00pm in the Media Center.

RSVP here: bit.ly/PMRSVP

CONVENTION

What is the advantage of attending?

Not only is Convention a fun opportunity for you to meet with other Betas across the state, but it's a great opportunity to "build your resume" for the scholarship opportunities National Beta provides. Essentially, the more active you are in Beta activities, the better it looks on your "resume." Being able to put that your were a "State Winner" or even a "National Winner" is a HUGE deal.

Service Hours

Students will receive 50 points for participating in convention.

Convention is coming!
