CLUBS
BETA VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Mrs. Herrington and Mrs. Newport are working with one of the Med Center 10K Classic coordinators to provide a service opportunity for the returning 7th and 8th grade Jr. Beta Club students. Before we can continue planning, we wanted to see how much interest there is from students to volunteer for this event. We are not quite sure what the volunteering will look like; however, we will practice COVID prevention measures when appropriate (such as masking, social distancing, etc.). If your child is interested in volunteering, please complete this form by Sept. 15th, 2021. Event: Med Center 10K Classic Date: Oct. 23rd, 2021 Time: Morning/Early Afternoon (possibly 6:45am-12pm) Location: Downtown near WKU's campus
