Elijah Hinson, 2026 Spelling Bee Champion from Sallas Mahone Elementary, is a true example of BelieVing in the V.
On January 27, 2026, he was recognized at the Valdosta Board of Education Meeting and even assisted our Board Chair in calling the meeting to order. Elijah’s achievement reminds us that when you BelieVe in the V, confidence and leadership follow!
