8th graders in 2013 - 2014 school year may attend the 2014 Beta convention. Theme for next year's convention is Making History with Beta.
Due to changes in our grading practices, Beta Club is gradually being phased out at Mt Mourne. No new members will be inducted into Beta club.
Beta Club Permission Form 2013 ConventionStudent cost is $95.00 to attend Beta Convention (hotel room accommodations, registration fees, Beta Club t-shirt & dance) if your parent is driving and attending convention.
Cost for parent to attend is $60.00.
Cost is $100.00 per student if student is riding the bus to the convention. Students whose parent is not attending will be required to ride the bus. We are sharing a bus with students from Brawley - I will be riding the bus too.
A $20.00 deposit is required to secure room reservations. Students can turn-in their deposit now or anytime before Friday January 4th. We have a number of rooms on hold at this time and those signed up first to attend will be guaranteed a spot. Once these rooms are full, they are full. The balance due ($75.00 dollars or $80.00 if riding the bus) must be paid on or before Friday January 18th.
Students will need some additional spending money to buy food while attending the convention to purchase food on their trip. Parents are encouraged to attend the NC Beta Convention with their child.
