Sladen "Superfly" Sowell (Rehobeth Middle School)
The champ is here! Sladen puts up great scores, works incredibly hard, helps the team any way she can, and does it all while bringing one of the best attitudes you'll find anywhere. She is truly the cream of the crop — and much like her namesake flying off the top rope, she rises to the occasion every single time.
It's going to take a Herculean effort next month for any competitor to knock her off the top of the card, but for this month, let's all take time to recognize her greatness. This belt isn't going anywhere.
Thank you, Sladen, for everything you do to make Houston County Schools great.

National Wellness Month is recognized every August to encourage people to prioritize self-care, manage stress, and promote healthy routines. For many students, heading back to school brings feelings of nervousness, excitement, and uncertainty. For some students, academic pressures, social dynamics, and changes in routine can create significant stress. Adults may also feel overwhelmed trying to juggle work, schedules, school supplies, extracurriculars, and emotional support. It's easy to put our health and wellness on the back burner due to work deadlines, traffic, family obligations and other stressors. Research has shown self-care can help increase happiness by up to 71% when we manage our stress and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Challenge yourself to make a small change and impact your health in positive ways.
