National Beta members from Ben’s Ford Christian School are celebrating their recent participation in the Louisiana Senior Beta State Convention. National Beta State Convention allows students the opportunity to compete in various academic and STEM-based, virtual and performing arts competitions. During the convention, Abram Pounds placed second overall in the language arts competition, and the Quiz Bowl team, comprised of Bailey Brown, Cameron Miller, Gracie Pittman, McKenna Crain, and Abram Pounds, placed fourth overall.

These victories at the state level provide an opportunity to compete at the national level. National Convention will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, KY during Summer 2023.

“This is our first year to compete at State in several years, and we are very proud of the students’ accomplishments,” said sponsor Marsha Thibodeaux. “We are looking forward to attending our first national convention and sharing our talents there.”
