BETA
If your student was on honor roll the 3rd grading period of 5th grade, they qualify for the Junior Beta Club. Junior Beta Club is a national honors and service club. However, at this time there will be no Junior Beta Club due to the Corona Virus and the need for social distancing and contact tracing. We are hopeful that second semester, we will be able to get to a level one, and therefore be able to have a fully operation club.

Project AWARE
Project AWARE Goes to the Park
The Indiana State Project AWARE Team would like to announce the Project AWARE Goes to the Park initiative in partnership with Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Project AWARE (ProjectAWAREIN.org), a partnership between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and the Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA), is encouraging young Hoosiers and their families to visit Indiana State Parks within the month of September. Spending time in nature can be a powerful tool for promoting mental wellness, especially as the ongoing pandemic poses challenges for individuals seeking safe recreational spaces.
Project AWARE Goes to the Park, geared toward school-aged youth and their communities, will allow Hoosiers to choose from three simple mental health-promoting activities to complete within one of the 32 Indiana State Parks any day in September. After completing their chosen activity, participants can submit to enter into a drawing for a 2021 Annual Indiana State Park pass. Hoosiers can access the self-led activity guide online at: http://bit.ly/pagoestothepark or may pick up a physical copy of the guide within any of Indiana’s State Parks and Reservoirs. Directions for entry into the park pass drawing are detailed in the guide.
Additionally, five Indiana State Parks will be hosting mental wellness programs throughout the month of September led by DNR State Park Interpretive Naturalists. The participating parks include Mounds State Park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, McCormick’s Creek State Park, Brown County State Park and Indiana Dunes State Park. Information about these programs can be found by accessing the DNR Programs Calendar September schedule. Please note, spots for these guided programs are limited due to COVID-19 and pre-registration is required. Admission to State Parks is $7.00 per day, per vehicle for Indiana residents.
