WPMS Goes To Beta National Convention

West Pender Middle School students, led by Mrs. Cassidy Skipper, recently embarked on an exciting journey to Louisville, Kentucky, where they participated in the prestigious Beta National convention. While their endeavors in the robotics competition didn't secure a placement, their remarkable performance demonstrated dedication and perseverance. Beyond the competition, the students were immersed in a multitude of invaluable experiences that will leave lasting impressions.

One of the highlights of the trip was the opportunity to embrace city life, as they explored the vibrant streets and vibrant culture of Louisville. The students marveled at the bustling atmosphere, gaining firsthand knowledge of urban living and the diversity it offers.

In addition to their explorations, the West Pender Middle School students received recognition for their meaningful contribution to the "BETA Serves Louisville Project." Their donation of school supplies showcased their commitment to making a positive impact on the community they visited.

The trip also included an enthralling visit to the Louisville Science Center, where the students were treated to a captivating 4D movie experience. They were transported to the mesmerizing world of the Dinosaurs of Antarctica, where they witnessed these majestic creatures come to life. The interactive nature of the Science Center further enriched their learning, as they engaged with numerous hands-on exhibits and discovered the wonders of science.

Moreover, the students had the opportunity to meet and connect with fellow Beta students from across the nation. This exchange of ideas and experiences fostered a sense of camaraderie and expanded their understanding of different cultures and perspectives.

West Pender Middle School Beta Club is fully committed to upholding the mission of Beta, which is to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership among elementary and secondary school students. Furthermore, they remain steadfast in their commitment to securing another bid for the National convention in the upcoming year. By doing so, they will continue to make a positive impact in their school and community, and leave a lasting legacy of achievement and growth. Go Warriors!
