On April 3rd, the James A. Garfield Middle School celebrated the 2025 BETA Club Induction Ceremony held in The Iva. This special event welcomed 16 new 7th grade students and 5 new 8th grade students into the prestigious club, recognizing their outstanding academic achievements and dedication to community service.
To qualify for membership, students completed over 500 service hours and maintained a GPA of 3.8 or higher, demonstrating their commitment to the BETA Club’s core values: Leadership, Service, Character, and Achievement. These four pillars reflect the essence of the club, guiding students to excel not only in academics but also in their contributions to their school and community.
The ceremony was a success, highlighted by heartfelt speeches from both current and new members, each showcasing their dedication to the values of the BETA Club. Special thanks go to Mrs. Gilmer, the BETA Club advisor, for organizing this memorable event and ensuring its smooth execution. The ceremony also recognized the generous sponsorship of the Middle School MVP Organization, which covered the cost of student memberships, making this opportunity accessible to all participants at no expense to the students or their families.
Following the induction, guests enjoyed refreshments in the commons, where cake, punch, and photo opportunities were available to commemorate the event. It was a great night to be a G-Man!
