Six students from the Allen County Intermediate Center represented their school and community at the National Jr. Beta Convention on June 24 at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center.
Students Andrew Harris, Grace Smith, Noah Towe, Peyton Landers, and Willow Garmon competed in “Being Better Betas: Ethical Decision Making.”
“The group was given a prompt and had to use the STAR Decision-Making Model to come up with and analyze possible solutions to an ethical dilemma,” explained sponsor Emily Chapman. “These students competed against 88 other groups from all over the United States. They showed professionalism, team work, and gave an amazing presentation at the National Beta Convention.”
Hannah Francis competed in the Visual Arts: Jewelry competition at Nationals.
“Hannah hand made a beautiful pair of earrings using inspiration from Beta colors,” Chapman pointed out. “Hannah’s hard work on creating the earrings earned her ninth place at the National Convention.”
The students qualified for the trip at the Kentucky state convention earlier this year in Lexington

Third graders from the Allen County Primary Center traveled to Dumont Hill on Monday to learn about how the Civil War and Scottsville are related. For several months, students in the ACS Patriot Pathfinders program have partnered with the Allen County Historical Society. to learn more about historic Dumont Hill. The Pathfinders researched the connection between the park and the Civil War as well as discovering information about Allen County residents at that time. Monday, the Pathfinders presented seven stations in which visitors could meet characters and learn about the past in Allen County.

Reality Store
Eighth-graders at the James E. Bazzell Middle School (JEBMS) learned a bit about the financial reality of life on Wednesday, April 15. The members of the Class of 2030 participated in Reality Store---a longstanding role-play exercise for eighth graders.
Reality Store----organized and presented in a collaboration between 4-H, the Allen County Extension Service, and Youth Services at JEBMS---begins in the classroom. Students are assigned a monthly income based on their GPA. Students draw to learn the size of their family. Each student is considered a single parent and challenged to meet the needs of his/her families.
Wednesday, the role-play learning experience moved to the gym to complete the exercise. Each participant was asked to visit booths representing everything from a clothing store to a contributions’ table. After starting by paying “taxes” to Uncle Sam, students visited each booth to see how the reality of life would impact their lives. The students had to consider housing costs, food for a month, insurance costs, and the expense for monthly services like electricity, water, and heating.
Approximately 50 community volunteers awaited at each of the 25 or so tables representing real world things that an adult with a family would need to consider as they planned a monthly budget. The volunteers explained options to help the students consider what or what not could be purchased. For example, at the transportation booth, a volunteer would explain that a single parent with three kids would need to purchase a vehicle for the entire family rather than a two-seat sports car. A student might quickly learn that his “want” of a vehicle would give way to the reality of the “need.”
