Stevenson Elementary Beta Club had an incredible time at the State Conventionin Lexington. The theme this year was “Wired for Success,” and our students were definitely plugged in and ready to shine.

We also had students earn individual honors:

While we were there, our students also completed service hours by helping create hospital game bags for local children’s hospitals and donating items for the project. It was a great way for them to continue living out the Beta pillar of service even while attending convention.
Our students truly proved they are wired for success, and we could not be more proud of how they represented Stevenson Elementary and our Beta Club.
To top it all off, we received an email letting us know that Stevenson Elementary Beta Club has been awarded the John W. Harris Leadership Award, an honor given to only five elementary schools in the entire United States through National Beta. This award recognizes schools that truly exemplify the Beta pillars through leadership, service, achievement, and character in their school and community.
The award application was submitted by sponsor Vicky Mathis, assisted by sponsor Brandy West, highlighting the incredible work our students are doing through Beta.
A huge thank you to everyone who chaperoned the trip and to those who stayed after school helping students prepare projects and performances. Your time, support, and encouragement make opportunities like this possible for our kids.
Our Panther Village truly is the best, and we are so proud of our students and the way they represent Stevenson Elementary.
