This past weekend, 52 members of Prairiland’s High School Beta Club attended the State Convention at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine.
“Our very talented, creative, artistic and intelligent Betas did an amazing job in all of the nearly three dozen events they competed in this year.”
Competitors in nine of those events earned an invitation to compete at the National Convention this summer in Nashville, Tennessee by placing in the top five.
National Qualifiers:
Group Talent Performers (State Champions)
Show Choir Performers (3rd Place)
Addison Fortenberry – Division 1 Creative Writing (4th Place)
Addie Cunningham – Division 1 Poetry (5th Place)
Layla Leach – 11th Grade Language Arts (5th Place)
Adalyn Hagood – Division 1 Jewelry (2nd Place)
Abby Hutson – Division 1 Recyclable Art (4th Place)
Isabella Tompkins – Division 1 Sculpture (3rd Place)
Allie Oats – Division 2 Color Photography (2nd Place)
“Three of our vocalists also received Golden Ticket invitations by the judges to perform in the opening ceremony at the National Convention as a Premier Performer. These premier vocalists are Addie Cunningham, Emmie Anderson and Tenley Smith. Combining these events with the Leadership Challenge teams who earned a spot to compete at the National Convention during the Regional Leadership Summit in October, over 40 Prairiland Betas have earned the opportunity to compete at the Gaylord Opryland Resort this summer.”
