Page 2 Volume 1, Issue 4 Savannah Grove Beta Club builds a strong community of learners The Savannah Grove Gator Beta Club recently presented McLeod Hospital with over 100-holiday greeting cards for patients who may not be able to go home during the holiday season. The members of the National Junior and Elementary Beta Club, a community service club that focuses on helping others, worked last week to make and decorate cards for those medically less fortunate this holiday season. Kate Miccichi accepted the cards on behalf of McLeod for the third year in a row. She spoke with the members of the club on how special the cards are and how they impact patients, families, faculty, and staff. “I wish the students could see the looks on the patients’ faces when they receive a card,” Miccichi said. “They truly help to heal those patients and make their situation easier.” Officers within the club, treasurer Kimora Cusaac and vice-president Tristen Mack, presented the cards on behalf of the club. The members were excited to brighten up the days of others and enjoyed spending time together, singing Christmas songs while they decorated the cards. Miccichi presented the club members with a special holiday treat that has become a tradition now with the students. The S.G.E.S. Gator Beta Club consists of 5th and 6th-grade students who earn membership into the club by making Honor Roll during the first nine weeks of the school year and modeling high moral character. The students work to build a strong community of learners within the school and give back as often as possible. The club meets at least once a month to plan and organize their events. In January, the members will participate in a candlelight pinning and induction ceremony to recognize and celebrate their achievements. This year, with the support of incredible faculty and staff, the club hopes to add a project after the holidays to continue to grow and help others. Their next community service project will be a donation drive for the Florence Area Humane Society in the spring. Along with Principal David Copeland, the S.G.E.S. Gator Beta Club is sponsored by Haley Taylor, Tiffaney Brown, Victoria Holdaway, and Layton Wicker.
