I want to take a moment to say thank you to First Midwest Bank, Southern Bank, and everyone who has purchased donuts, bought raffle tickets, attended our car wash, or supported our Sr. Beta students in any way. Your generosity and encouragement have helped make this opportunity possible for our students.

In just 16 days, our Sr. Beta members will be traveling to Nashville to represent Van Buren at the National Convention. We are incredibly proud of these students and all of the hard work they have put in to earn this opportunity.

While we have made tremendous progress through fundraising and community support, we are still working to cover the remaining travel expenses.

We are currently seeking community partners who would like to help sponsor a student or contribute toward our final fundraising goal of $2,100.

Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will directly support our students as they prepare to represent our school, community, and state on the national stage.

Those interested in making a donation may drop it off at the Van Buren High School office or contact Sr. Beta sponsors Ashley DeWolf or Melissa Allen to make arrangements.
