The Beta Club promotes academic achievement, character, service and leadership among students. This year’s convention was the first held in-person in more than three years, and activities range from academic contests to talent competitions.

“All of our students performed well and our seventh-grade students are eager to return next school year with what they have learned this year, while our eighth graders are eager to do the same at the high school when they become Beta members. Many thanks to the supportive parents and our great bus driver, John Martin, who made this trip possible for our students.” David Lingenfelter, KCMS Jr. Beta Club Sponsor, said.
