August 10, 2007 we were mentioned in The Houston Chronicle for our participation in the Literacy Volunteers of America Annual Spelling Bee.  Although we came in 2nd place over all we did not come home empty handed.  We won the SPIRIT STICK and boy did we earn it!  With our staff there was not a moment of silence when our team was up to the podium, (perhaps they would have won 1st place had they had that silence) ha-ha.  Well regardless we are SUPER proud of our team.  Special thanks to our team members Janet Milleson, Cindy Robinson and Pam Tate-Lavender.  Additional recognition goes out to Gordon Lavender who helped hoist us over the top in spirit this year. 

The excerpt from the article in The Houston Chronicle is below.

WATCH out for us next year Literacy BEE’S…. We will be back!  

Groups Compete For Spelling Bee Title

“A national spelling bee was much in the news recently, but one close to home generated a great deal of interest, also. The Literacy Volunteers of America – Montgomery County chapter held its fifth annual LVA Corporate Spelling Bee at Montgomery College, preceded by a barbecue dinner.  

This year eight teams spelled for the title: Rotary Club-Lake Conroe, Montgomery College Faculty, Forest Hills Book Club, Rotary Club-The Woodlands, John Cooper School-Upper Faculty, American Finasco, the Office of District Attorney Mike McDougal and the Office of Conroe Mayor Tommy Metcalf. Emerging victorious were the team from Metcalf’s office with Marla Porter, Peggy Brown and Marcus Winberry. The winning word was Renaissance.”
