ELKMONT BETAS ARE GOING TO NATIONALS

 
The various Senior Beta clubs around the state met in Birmingham for a two day convention of fun and competition, March 30-31.  Elkmont High School attended and brought back several awards to the Hilltop.  Some of them will be going to the National Convention to compete.

Our girls placed 3rd in the Special Talent competition! Way to go! 


 

We also have some other winners of various competitions:
All achieved second place and are moving on to Nationals...
 
*Poetry: Riley Cook  *Science: Coleman Cook  *Creative Writing: Shannon Dison
*Beta Build: Guadalupe Salgado, Claudia Allen, Emily Norman, and Shelby Norman 

Beta Build is a competition that gives teams a box of supplies to create a Rube Goldberg (a comically involved, complicated invention, laboriously contrived to perform a simple operation) project.

EASTER BASKETS WITH BETA LOVE

The Elkmont Elementary Beta Club is made up of  fourth and fifth graders.  These youngsters are given the opportunity each year to share a little love with our older folk. They take Easter Baskets to the Limestone Health Facility on West Hobbs Street in Athens, and deliver Easter cards to the nursing home in Ardmore. 

The kindness and devoted attention these wonderful students gave the elderly was amazing. These young men and women participate in many service activities that help them develop the quality of charity. Another they have participated in is a sock drive for those who might be in need at local homeless shelters. They also organized a canned food drive to help with the Full Tummy Project at Elkmont School. 

The love and compassion these young men and women show others is astounding! These service projects are the very core of the honorable things these students do in addition to making good grades. I am honored to be the Elementary Beta Club Sponsor at EHS. Ours is truly a remarkable club with outstanding students.

ELKMONT JUNIOR BETA CLUB GIVE HOPE

Thank you to the Junior Beta Club and Mrs. Kriston Robinson Cagle at Elkmont High School for collecting personal hygiene items for Team Hope!  Team Hope helps the homeless and struggling veterans. Their mission is to build relationships by first meeting their needs and then getting to know them. Our junior beta club's efforts will help to meet the needs of many of the homeless in the area! 

We also had some other

students who worked separately and made Valentine bags for Team Hope to give out. Just another example of Elkmont young people putting others first and leading by serving! It is never too soon to develop the virtue of charity.

NEW BETA CLUB MEMBERS

Each year students who have achieved a 3.5 or higher GPA (not adjusted) are invited to join the Senior (9-12 grade) or Junior (6-8 grade) Beta Clubs. These honor clubs recognize students with high grades, provide leadership and service opportunites. Elkmont High School recently held its annual Beta Club new member induction ceremony, January 30.
