An 11-year-old Spring Lake Park student may have a budding career as a playwright.

Lighthouse Program student Teagan Nelson recently received an Honorable Mention in the Young Playwright Inc.’s National Playwriting Competition for her play, “An Interview Out of this World.”

Four Anoka-Hennepin students are among 100 Minnesota semifinalists who will compete in the 2013 Minnesota National Geographic Bee.

Students in grades 4-8 competed at the school level, and those winners took a qualifying test that was submitted to the National Geographic Society. The top 100 scorers were then invited to compete at the state level.
