Dexter, Missouri - "Leading the largest Jr. Beta Club in the state of Missouri is no easy task," commented Scott Kruse, T.S. Hill Middle School Principal. "This team of teachers works behind the scenes to organize and lead students.  It takes each and every one of them."

Kruse recognized the following teachers at the Jr. Beta Student Induction Ceremony on Friday, October 28, 2016.  Mrs. Boles, Mrs. Cato, Mrs. Delay, Mrs. Thurlkill, Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. DeMent, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Muckerman, and Mrs. Stickles for the endless dedication to their students.

"Our lead Beta Club sponsor, Mrs. Langley, was named National Jr. Beta Sponsor of the Year at the National Convention in New Orleans, LA over the summer," continued Kruse.  "No one works harder, puts in as much time, and cares as much about seeing a Club succeed than Mrs. Langley.  The award could not have gone to a more deserving person and we would like to once again recognize our Jr. Beta Leader!"

In December students will participate in the State Convention at Poplar Bluff, from there those that qualify will travel to the National Convention in Orlando, Florida in 2017. 

This year they are running Miss Abbie DeMent at State Jr. Beta Secretary.  Two years ago Irene Huang was elected State Jr. Beta President and last year Kyla Propst was elected State Jr. Beta Chaplain.  "We are confident in Abbie's chances of representing Missouri!"

Candles were lit during the ceremony.  Cacie Ramsey lit the white candle, Kristi Boles lit the red candle, Taryn Duncan lit the blue candle, Kristin Miller lit the black candle, Jessica DeMent lit the gold candle.  Mrs. Nancy Langley held the induction and pledge.
