🖤❤️ Washington Catholic Beta Club Shines at National Convention! ❤️🖤 Last week, our Beta Club members traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to compete against some of the best students from across the nation at the National Beta Convention. We are incredibly proud of how our Cardinals represented Washington Catholic Schools both on and off the competition floor! 🏆 National Placements: 📖 Jack Schwoeppe – 9th Place, 9th Grade Spelling 🔬 Tony LaGrange – 3rd Place, 10th Grade Science 🎨 Marie Ringwald – 9th Place, Drawing Division I 📚 Washington Catholic Beta Club – 8th Place, Scrapbook (accepted by Mia Rangel on behalf of WC) We would also like to recognize Brody Voges, who ran for National Beta Secretary. While he was not elected, he represented Washington Catholic with confidence, professionalism, and determination. Brody delivered a flawless campaign speech, and our Beta members did an outstanding job performing the campaign skit. Their hard work, dedication, and teamwork were truly inspiring. While the awards are certainly worth celebrating, what makes us most proud is the way our students represented our school, our community, and our values throughout the week. Congratulations to all of our National Beta participants on an incredible convention! Also, thank you to our amazing parent chaperones for volunteering your time. We appreciate all you do for Washington Catholic Schools and our students. #WCCardinals #nationalbetaclub #LeadServeAchieve #CardinalPride
