The National Beta Club at Metcalfe County Elementary School has proudly been named a 2024 National Beta Grand Slam Service award winner. The club earned this award by spending an average of 100+ hours per member serving their school, community, and state this year.

As one of the four pillars of National Beta, service is encouraged to help students learn to demonstrate the motto: Let Us Lead by Serving Others. By showing dedication to service, MCES Betas helped contribute to more than 1.8 million hours served by clubs across the nation this year. Only 60 clubs earned the National Beta Grand Slam Service award.

MCES Beta Sponsor Lindsey Thomas said, “I’m so proud of the initiative our Betas have taken in serving others and fully embracing the service pillar of Beta. Our students logged a combined 5,649 hours to benefit our school, district, and the community.”

MCES Beta members will each receive a commemorative pin, and the club will receive a custom Louisville Slugger mini-baseball bat to proudly display at school.
