MHEA Spelling Bee Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the 2018 -2019 MHEA Spelling Bee held on Friday, November 16, at Saint Mark’s United Methodist Church. The number of students this year was exceptional, and we owe a large thank you to all the parents who brought their children to participate. From coordination to completion, the event was a huge success. We would like to thank Lydia Johnson for the hours she spent coordinating and planning this event, as well as her army of volunteers who stepped up and made this event possible. Thanks also to Saint Mark’s United Methodist Church for allowing us to use their facilities.
