Supplying Us for State Beta Convention

Help me give my students the supplies needed for the Virginia State Beta Convention!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Franklin's classroom raised $355

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our Betas will travel to Hampton, VA to compete at the Virginia State Beta Convention. Students will compete in academic tests, arts and crafts competitions, talent, marketing, as well as vie for state office. Lots of these competitions require supplies such as paint, canvases, cardstock, etc. These items can be pricey on top of the already high fees to travel and stay overnight for two nights. Our goal is to find donors to help lighten the cost that students have to pay out of pocket for the supplies for their competitions. This is just a small indication of what is needed for our students to compete at the state level against schools who receive more funding. If a student places, these items will also be used at the National Level this summer in Savannah, GA.
