UPDATE!! DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 14!
The Gurdon JR and SR Beta Clubs are looking for sponsors to help them prepare for and attend state and national conventions. The state convention is in January in Hot Springs, AR and the national convention (which both clubs qualified for by attending Leadership Summit earlier this week) is in June in Savannah, GA. We are going to create a t-shirt for all members, club sponsors, and chaperones to wear at service project events, fundraisers, and conventions. The business sponsors will be featured on the back of the t-shirts, along with possibly a thank you with each publication about Beta's activities and accomplishments. Please contact Mrs. Nolen or Mrs. Russell at Gurdon High School if you have any questions.

Today at GHS students participated in a variety of activities testing their knowledge and skills! They had to solve the puzzle for Mrs. Russell's escape room, best their classmates with Mr. Doran's quiz bowl, dissect a sheep brain with Mr. Hyde, and finally test the bounds of physics by building an egg drop container! Wheew, it was a busy day!
