Beta Club Attends Leadership Summit

Fourteen MCMS Jr. Beta Club members attended Beta Leadership Summit in Bowling on Oct. 12-13. These students have been working hard for the past month to get ready to present their work to a panel of judges. Our club came home with five awards which included an award for Leadership. The four projects earned a bid to the National Convention in June in Ft. Worth, Texas. 

Attending were Zyler Howard, Mason Dewolf, Tahari Martin, Ryan Tooley, Hannah Booker, Louie Dunn, Shelby Thomas, Ellie Barnett, Mackenzie Rich,   Ember Ethridge, Riley Dewolf, Kynzlie Guffey, Audrina Jones, and Makayla Chapman. 

Project Proposal: Tahari Martin, Zyler Howard, Louie Dunn, and Ryan Tooley 

These members presented the club’s new community service project “Frames for Change”. These members are collecting reading glasses that individuals no longer wear and will donate them to the Lions Club to help those in need. Anyone with reading glasses can drop them off at the middle school or in collection boxes that will be set up around town. Their project earned a bid to the National Convention.
