Club members of the Beaverdam Bunch range in ages from 3rd grade to 12th grade, and when it comes to leaders, some have been serving for years.

Emily Byers, a Bluffton second-grade student this past school year, has placed 3rd in the statewide Imagine Engineering Coloring Contest out of more than 6,000
students.
Emily, daughter of Justin and Karen Byers, was a student in Mrs. Fry's classroom when she entered the contest.
Her winning entry involved a picture of an engineer reviewing her roller coaster design plans at a site visit. For her efforts, Emy received the third-place prize, a MathShark skill-building game and calculator.
