Junior Civitan
Junior Civitan is an international service organization with a focus on serving the local community. Junior Civitans is open to BMS 7th and 8th grade students. One of our club's primary partnerships is with the Boaz Senior Center. Together we collect items and raise funds to support our local Meals-on-Wheels program. We also raise funds for Second Chance Shelter, our local animal shelter. See Mrs. McRae to join. Dues are $25 and include your Junior Civitan T-shirt.
