Congratulations to Jody Ledbetter and Jennifer Borders, the first recipients of the Merry Ellen Eason Educators Fund.
Sharon grew up with her siblings on a farm south of Battle Creek. She enjoyed life as a child on the farm, spending a week at the Calhoun County Fair each summer, and attending school here at Harper Creek. Her experiences as a child would eventually lead her into the classroom here at Harper Creek. Being a teacher has added to the happiness in her life.
