West Carroll Elementary School Beta Club originally competed and received awards during their State Convention in Nashville, Tennessee in November. 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, TX, was cancelled due to health and safety concerns stemming from the Coronavirus pandemic. However, over 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. Although students were unable to attend the National Convention in Fort Worth, all students eligible to compete at the National Convention celebrated at a Swimming Watch Party on July 17th.
West Carroll Elementary School Beta Club began in 2018 with sponsors Brittany Fowler, Beth Bridges, and Michelle Robinson. In addition to earning multiple State and National awards this school year, WCES Beta Club earned multiple state awards during the 2018-2019 school year.
