Beta Club

Last November, after the first grading period, over 40% of the students at DFC were invited to join the National Beta Club. Beta Club members must not only demonstrate achievement by earning and maintaining a 3.5 grade point average, but must also demonstrate the Beta ideals of service and leadership. In January, 274 students were inducted into the Beta Club, the largest group ever.

SERVICE
We are offering students one last chance to earn service points this year. On May 11th, Beta Club is sponsoring "Beach Day" at DFC. One of the events will be a bake sale during all three lunches. Students still needing service points have been notified as to how they can earn their points by bringing items for the bake sale. Students can sign up with Mrs. Crowder in room A116 no later than May 9th; food items must be delivered to her room before school on the morning of the 11th

STATE BETA CLUB CONVENTION (February 16th-17th)
Twenty-one students traveled to North Charleston along with sponsors Mrs. Crowder and Mrs. Wells and chaperone Mrs. Moore to attend this event. Almost all students participated in at least one competition. The talented trio of Shahin Kapasi, Minhaz Dalal and Anam Virani danced their way to second place in special talent. Alessandra Gomez won first place in pencil drawing and has been invited to compete at the National Convention this June in Nashville.
