2013-2014 GCMS Jr.Beta president, Carson McKee, recently won the John W. Harris Leadership Award from the national Beta Club.  The Harris Award recognizes outstanding leadership exhibited by its members and recognizes only 25 members of the National Jr. Beta Club.  Recipients receive a leadership award, certificate, and paid tuition to the Broyhill Leadership Conference.  We are very proud of Carson's accomplishments and will miss her leadership next year.

Piggies for Preemies

During the last week of January, our club began a Piggies for Preemies drive to collect money for Kosair Children's Hospital.  The school collected over $1300 for the hospital!!!!  Below is a picture of students Jacob Hansen, Olivia Heath, and Kaitlynn Miller holding some of the piggies that were used to collect the money.

Helping Those We Love

Recently, 7th grade science teacher, Amanda Fain's house was damaged in a house fire.  Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Mrs. Fain and her family lost many possessions to fire and smoke damage.  To show our support, our club raised $444 in just 2 days to help out the Fain's with whatever they might need.  Below, club treasurer, Grace Thomasson, presents Mrs. Morgan with the check and a bag of items for Mrs. Fain's children.
