HAMLET — At Fairview Heights Elementary School, 13 students were inducted into the National Beta Club on Wednesday, March 16.

The ceremony was opened by 5th grader, Lillie Coble, who led Inductees and guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. The FHS chorus also performed the National Anthem. Guest speaker Jace Bendell from Richmond Early College High School also shared motivating and encouraging words with Inductees, as well as other 3rd — 5th graders in attendance.
The following students were inducted: Ronan Brown, Lillie Coble, Rick Hogan, Alivia Honeycutt, Cooper Hudson, Mason Huff, Demari McRae, Demazj McRae, Kelby Morrison, Fernando Orichi Socana, Ella Shelley, Judah Sibley, and Madilyn Williams.
Newly installed members will be participating in upcoming service projects for the months of March, April, and May.
“The skills and opportunities that come from National Beta membership impact students not only during their time in school, but as they move forward in life,” said National Beta CEO Bobby Hart while offering his congratulations. “We are proud of these new inductees and are excited to see how they grow as leaders and positively impact the world.”
