The Howard County Commission for Women honored Esha Bhatti as the middle school winner of the 2015 Women's History Month Essay Contest. Principal Scott Conroy said that everyone at Lime Kiln Middle School is proud of her achievement.
In other Lime Kiln news, Christian Maric represented the school at the Howard County Spelling Bee, which was held after this column was submitted. I'll post an update as soon as I get it. The Lime Kiln runner-up contestant was Rohan Uttamasingh.
