Activities: Fourth and Fifth grade students were invited to join our national Jr Beta Club based on their academic achievement, superior character, and leadership qualities.  The National Beta Club is the nation’s largest independent, non-profit, educational youth organization. In addition to academic recognition, The National Beta Club provides an avenue for incorporating three important curriculum components into the school environment: character education, leadership development, and service. The continued mission of The National Beta Club is to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership among elementary and secondary school students. The expectations of our members are that they show moral and ethical character, exemplary academic achievement, and commendable attitudes. Through membership in the Junior Beta Club, young people from all walks of life have opportunities to come together to embrace and celebrate their diversity.
