"Operation Gaston Point"...Beta members dropped off 62 wrapped gifts for the kindergarten students at Gaston Point Elementary. Each member brought in a shoebox filled with 5 toys and students spent their lunch wrapping them. It was a heartwarming experience for everyone!

In the midst of the storm… Petal Upper Elementary School was severely damaged by the tornado that struck the Hattiesburg area this weekend. Student will not be able to return to the campus until the damage has been repaired. Classes are being held at a local church until further notice. There is a need for school supplies not only for the students who lost everything but to the teachers who can’t get in their classrooms to salvage what is left. Several clubs at GHS will be coming around this week to ask for and pick up donations from teachers and students.

This is a great way to repay all the love that was shown to us after the destruction of Katrina. Stay tuned to announcements for more details.
