Junior Beta Club is happy to announce that they raised $387.26 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. During the week of October 27th through the 31st, members sold pencils, stickers, and homemade sun catchers to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. These toys and Boo Grams were sold for a dollar each. Through our efforts and actions, we were able to raise this total, in a matter of a week! Whether you have a kid in Beta Club or you simply know someone in our club, please tell them Good Job! Let’s keep encouraging one another to do the great things we are doing!
