Oran Guardian Angel Jr. Beta attend Poplar Bluff Convention

The Missouri Jr. Beta Convention was held at the Black River Coliseum in Poplar Bluff, MO on March 8 & 9. The theme this year was "Beta on My Mind". The 7th & 8th grade Jr. Beta members of Guardian Angel School, Oran, attended on March 8 and brought items that they had created to enter several of the visual art categories and the banner competition. In Fiber Arts, Lydia Tankersley won third place with her crocheted elephant afghan. They also had an entry in the Division II Special Talent Competition. Logan Dame sang and played the guitar and Jordan Diebold played the drum to the tune of "Jolene". They performed twice and were in the top 5 out of 26 entries.

The banner was created by Dalaini Bryant, Taylor Hobbs, Haley Webb, Sophie Priggel, and Daley Siebert.
