Senior Beta Club members from Patrick County High School recently participated in the Virginia Senior Beta Convention in Hampton, Virginia on February 8th -10th. Students gathered from across the state to compete in academic, talent, and art competitions. In addition to attending the convention, students also had the opportunity to visit the Virginia Aquarium and take part in a friendly battle of Laser Tag. Patrick County students worked hard to prepare their entries for the convention, and eight students were announced as winners in the following categories:
1st Place 9th Grade Language Arts (Lacey Sutphin),
2nd Place Digitally Enhanced Photography Division 1 (Kylee Leonard),
3rd Place Digitally Enhanced Photography Division 2 (Remi Miller),
3rd Place Engineering Team (Members include Jacob Lester, Jonathan Harbour, Bryan Clark, and Dhrithik Tanna),
2nd Place Language Arts 10th Grade (Xena Wilcox), 1st Place Mixed Media Division 1 (Rylee Soliday),
2nd Place Performing Arts- Dance (Heather Edwards),
3rd Place Speech Division 1 (Draysin Maselli), Beta Scholarship Recipient (Kali Craig)
These victories at the state level provide an opportunity for these students to compete at the National Senior Beta Convention in Savannah, Georgia this summer, which students are tentatively planning to attend.
