Smells like victory... David K. spins his Frisbee while awaiting a match.

Betton House went through a lot of struggles this month. Things started to get better once we cleaned house, did some program work and set goals as a whole.
For the past couple months, Robin and Mike Ducey, Betton House’s family leaders, have not been present, which was hard on the house as a whole. Fortunately, principal Ann Janauer and chemistry teacher Gerald Janauer are filling in as Betton House’s family leaders from now through June. “I’m very excited to be one of Betton House’s family leaders, but I know it’s a huge responsibility,” said Gerald. The Janauers are already settling in and the students are getting to know them.
Betton House is having some fun as well. Chorus and Show Choir’s Patty R., Emilie M. and Zach N. put on a great show at the North American Music Festival in Hershey Park and on Family Day. Adam S., Troy P. and Alex G. volunteered to help with stage crew. Nash B. and Matt W. are planting new vegetables in the garden, and although sport season is beginning to slow down, Scott M. will be preoccupied with skateboarding.
Many Betton House students have qualifiers and regents exams to take, so study halls are a lot quieter.
“I’m getting stressed out, but I do trust that God will provide,” said David K., a graduate who needs to pass his chemistry regents. The family’s graduates are still working hard and checking in at the table about their feelings on departing.
Betton House welcomes Alex A. to the family. “The people here in Betton House are helping me to feel at home,” he said. At this point, the family seems to be going at a good pace, and hopefully it will progress.
