Elkin Elementary School

The Junior Beta Club has been very busy with serving our community.  In September we served our healthcare workers by providing breakfast for the staff at Jonesville Urgent Care and Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital.  October we served our local nursing home residents by providing treat bags for each patient and a special thank you card for the staff at Pruitt and Chatham.  November our service project involved the entire school with raising funds to buy a new washing machine for the Ark, our local homeless shelter.  Beta students hosted a Hat Day to raise money and were able to purchase the washing machine, detergent and needed supplies for a new baby that will arrive any day now to become the youngest resident living at the Ark.  December will provide smiling faces (behind masks of course) as we visit the Ark, local nursing centers, and Parkwood to share Christmas songs with all the residents.  Students are learning through each act of service that our community offers many opportunities to serve others around us.  Our theme for this year is Beta Together.  That is exactly what Beta service is all about.  We are better together when we serve each other!
