I just want to say a huge thank you to the parents and students who helped get LMS Beta up and running over these past 7 years! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you the entire time. I will be stepping down as sponsor for LMS Beta at the end of the school year to spend more time with my family!
I hope that all of my students will remember what Beta's purpose was and is: to lead by serving! Continue to strive to be your best and inspire others to do the same. Reach out and serve your school and your community. Be leaders, never followers.
I am very proud of each and every one of you(even those I occasionally correct and push to do better). LMS started out with about 100 students eligible for Beta and has 206 members currently! Every school in the county now has a Beta Club. Together, we made this happen. While I may not organize trips and collect your money, I am still here to encourage you to push a little harder and maintain those grades! I hope doing your best becomes a lifelong habit for each Beta!

DC Parent Meeting
Since every date I set for a meeting gets snowed out, I have decided to try to cover it all in a note. We will try to get together after winter is over (if it ever ends).
1. If you have an email address, I need it. Please send it to farriv@k12tn.net. With school out so much, I can’t count on getting notes home. I will email you reminders of payment dates and any trip details as I receive more information.
You can also check http://lmsjuniorbeta.blogpost.com for updates on trip planning and other LMS Beta activities and photos.
2. 2nd payment is due Wednesday, 2-17-2010. As school was closed due to snow, please have that to LMS by Friday, 2-19-2010 at 3PM so it can be mailed in.
3. Proposed room list is attached. Those highlighted have paid extra to have reduced number in their room. All other rooms are supposed to have 4 in them. If additional people are added, they will go in these rooms. If you prefer a different room, please let me know ASAP. This is in no way final; I do need to get it company this month so contact me with changes ASAP.
4. Dress code: We would like to wear shirts of the same color on days we tour DC and Williamsburg. It makes it easy for us to spot our group and looks great in photos. To represent the different schools in our county going, we will wear the following colors: royal blue, black, purple and orange. You do not have to purchase these if you already have shirts in these colors. If you would like to purchase a T-shirt package, I will have Hall’s print us up some simple one color imprint T’s for $25 for all 4. We will not order these until May so you have plenty of time to decide on this. Students will be permitted to wear shorts but should make sure they are at least finger tip length. Comfortable walking shoes are a necessity—no flip flops on tours. Flip flops are for hotel or day at the beach only. A complete packing list will be available by early May.
5. Fundraisers: Pam Smith and Valerie Maynord-Thomas at Allons are setting up some fundraisers to assist their students. Other students are welcome to participate. They have a digital camera and a gun or rifle (I believe) to raffle. If you are interested, please contact Valarie at Allons Elementary School.

Spring Trip Deposit
The first payment of $65 is due Feb. 17 for the Spring Trip to Chattanooga. With all the school days we have missed due to snow and the possibility of more, we will extend that deadline to Feb. 24. Remember that students must be in good standing and remain in good standing to participate in this trip. Once we have a complete list of those going, students will be able to sign up to room with friends from their grade level. The trip is May 6-7: a Thursday and Friday. We will be spending one day at the Aquarium, spending the night at the ChooChoo and then spending Friday at Lake Winni. The $130 covers transportation, hotel, all meals, attraction tickets and a trip T Shirt. Parents please help me out by putting payment in an envelope labeled with your student's name, grade level, amount enclosed and T size. As Beta grows, I must have your help with this. I cannot continue to have students just lay money on my desk with no explanation or hand it to me at bus loading. Having it in a properly labeled envelope insures that your child gets registered!

DC Trip Update
We got the 40 we needed to make the trip happen with LMS, Hilham, Rickman and Allons pooling students together. I can take 10 more registrations on a first come first serve basis if you know of anyone who wants to go and just missed the deadline. Once we reach 50 the bus is full and we can't add anyone else!!!
We will have a parent meeting for participating Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 6PM at LMS. We will finalize roommate assignments, discuss fundraising for those who want to do this (it is not required--just to help those who need it), and start thinking about details. It will be nice to meet everyone! We may be a small group but we will have a BIG TIME and learn about our government and history!
