Twin City Elementary Beta members place in national competition

Posted

The last few months, National Beta members from Twin City Elementary have been working diligently to submit entries for the National Beta Virtual Convention. In late July, they were able to celebrate that hard work when the following was announced:

  • Judson Underwood took fourth place in Woodwork and
  • Lawson Frye placed sixth in Speech.

TCE’s club originally competed and received awards at state convention held in Savannah in December 2019. Their victories at the state level provided an opportunity to compete at the national level.

The National Convention, originally planned to be held in Fort Worth, Texas, was canceled due to health and safety concerns stemming from the coronavirus pandemic. However, more than 12,000 Junior Beta (grades 4-8) and Senior Beta (grades 9-12) students were able to represent their schools in the first National Beta Virtual Convention.

TCE’s club also qualified and competed nationally in Songfest, Fiber Arts, Mathematics, and Portfolio.
