Eighth Street Middle School’s Beta Club and FFA were proud to be part of the Georgia Schools Day of Service, a statewide initiative led by 2026 Teacher of the Year Rachel Kinsaul. This day is all about helping students connect what they learn in the classroom to real life through service and community involvement.

Our Beta Club students made a big impact across the community. They helped set up a Mom Prom at Matt Wilson Elementary, created a treat bar for our ESMS staff, and spent time reading with younger students at Annie Belle Clark Elementary. They truly lived out the Beta motto, “Let us lead by serving others.”

Our FFA students also went all in. After spending two months collecting food, cleaning supplies, and kitty litter for our local animal shelter, 60 students showed up ready to work. They cleaned, spread pine straw, planted, and even made treats for the animals. It was a great example of the FFA motto, “Living to Serve.”

We are so proud of these students for showing what it looks like to lead with heart and give back to their community. 💙🐾
