Busy Bees November Meeting
and Achievement Night |
by Reporter Gabi W
On Nov. 3 we had our regular meeting followed by a taco bar and achievement night. The new officers were installed as well as the new members. Then the awards and record books were handed out. For the installation of officers, our leader Deb, had the officers build a banana split. She compared the officers, members, leaders, and parents to the ingredients of a banana split and how when they’re all combined together they create a delicious success!
Our new officers are: Kaydence H-President, Taylor G-Vice President, Leah M-Secretary, Savannah S-Treasurer, Gabi W-Reporter, Wyatt F-Sergeant at Arms, Abram Z-Sergeant at Arms.
Our new members are: Noah C, Emmitt F, Austin L, Isabella L, and Adalia P.
