The National Junior Beta Club Convention was held this summer in Orlando, Fla. and students from around the region represented North Carolina well. The Junior Beta Club is for students in grades 4-8.
Harrells Christian Academy’s Jr. Beta Club team did well. In competition Evan Boussias placed 2nd place Social Studies; 5th Place Black and White Photography went to Ella Campbell; 4th place in Painting was awarded to Rebekah Bryan; 2nd place Convention Invention Winners were Hudson Griffin, Rebekah Bryan, Daughtry Jackson and Eli Hardison.
