New BETA members inducted The BETA Club recently inducted new members. This organization recognizes students for their academic achievement, service, and integrity. BETA members can be found at school, church and community functions helping out and serving others. Active members maintain a 3.5 grade point average and earn 5 service hours throughout the year. Congratulations to these new members: Rebekah Wade, Taylor Sanders, Britt Roberts, Juliann Peters, Kristen Perry, Hannah Nichols, Clay Mitchell, Kelsey Lester, Erin Jennings, Kyle Howard, Buford Throneberry, Kayla Pickard, Jordan McBride, Philip Bonabi, Derrick Spears, Katelynn Farmer, and Anna Holland. Publix key fobs available Everyone knows that Kroger Cares and SCRIP card programs are great ways to help MTCS. But there is one more way to help. MTCS has partnered with Publix to earn a percentage of all money spent shopping at any Publix grocery store. Key fobs were sent home with elementary students, and parents of junior high and high school students can pick up their key fobs in the Business Office during school hours. Each time you shop, show the key fob to the cashier, and a percentage of your total will be paid back to MTCS. NO TEP CREDIT WILL BE CALCULATED ON THESE AMOUNTS, but this is such an easy thing to do to help MTCS. So be sure to start using your key fob today. North Boulevard to sponsor Courageous showing Now, more than ever, men need to be challenged and encouraged to model Godliness to their families.
