My Project

Beta students some of my favorite studetns; they care about their education and their community. Each year students have the opportunity to particpate in Beta by meeting certain educational criteria. Students meet and develop service projects and give back to their school and community. Students are also able to comptete at Beta convention.

One of the events that students may compete in is the Book Battle Event.

Students read books from the list and answer questions as a team to score higher than the teams from other schools. Our students would benefit from the purchase of these books in order to prepare for this competition.
