One of TCHS Beta Club’s goals is to give back through community service. Throughout November over 15 Beta members brought in items to pack gift bags for the McRae Manor Nursing Home. On Tuesday, December 5 students assembled and delivered gifts to the 115 residents at McRae Manor Nursing Home. This activity brought club community service hours up to over 20 for most members for the year. Thank you to everyone who helped in this activity. Shown in the picture are those that delivered to the nursing home, standing (l-r): Ashley Yawn, Kassidy Whitney, Lauryn Johns, Hector Mendoza, Joslyn Whipple, Jenaysia Tobler, Hannah Dickerson, Brooke Dykes, Janie Greene, Merritt Davidson, Grant Cook, Sierra Wood, Shayla Cook, Harrison Wood, and Page White, kneeling (l-r): Kaelee Hutcheson and Sierra Wells.
Over the past week, TCHS Beta members have been collecting items for "Operation Christmas Child". This is a project of the international relief organization, Samaritan's Purse. Twenty-seven Beta members collected items such as small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. These items were used to fill a shoebox full of goodies for a child in need in other countries. On Wednesday, November 15th, Beta members volunteered to stay after school to fill twenty shoeboxes and prepare them to be shipped. The TCHS Beta Club donated the shipping fee for this project. Pictured are the students who put the shoeboxes together, top row (l-r): Kayla Weeks, Anna Kate Grimes, Hector Mendoza, Brooke Dykes, Merritt Davidson, Harrison Wood, Kaelee Hutcheson, Amber Spires, Sierra Wood, Gavin Yawn, Joslyn Whipple, and Sierra Wells, second row (l-r): Rosie Kay Yawn, Ashley Yawn, Margaret Royal, Morgan Spires, Paige White, Shayla Cook, Grant Cook, Kassidy Whitney, and Hannah Dickerson.
