The purpose of the WBMS Jr. Beta Club is to promote leadership, integrity and good citizenship at WBMS. Students are approved for membership because of their worthy character, creditable achievement, and commendable attitude. The membership of this organization is made up of students in grades 6th through 8th.
Junior Beta Club Activities Service Projects Club members assist with various service projects in our community such as helping with local elementary school activities, and helping local shelters in Alpharetta. For more information on service opportunities, check out the "Volunteer opportunities" tab. We are always interested in getting new ideas on service projects. Please feel free to come up with your own ideas and pass them on to us! We are always open to finding new ways to"lead, by serving others."
State Convention Each year Junior Beta members have an opportunity to attend the Georgia Junior Beta Convention in Savannah, Georgia. This is a two-day convention that gives our members a chance to meet hundreds of other Junior Beta members from schools throughout Georgia and participate in activities ranging from academic contests to quiz bowls to talent competitions. The State Convention provides the opportunity for members to interact, share project ideas, and showcase their academic and leadership abilities. The State Convention is a fun-filled two days that our members look forward to each year.
