Our latest MJHS O6 Afterschool Spotlight Session💡 featured Mrs. Hailey Windham. Mrs. Windham is a wife, mom, and Certified Financial Crimes Specialist. While visiting, she shared her personal journey from growing up in Manning to becoming a nationally recognized fraud prevention leader and podcast host.

Mrs. Hailey provided age-appropriate education on the most common forms of fraud and empowered them to recognize and protect themselves and loved ones from scams. A student recognized her from a news segment with WISTV's Billie Jean Shaw. Mrs. Hailey shared that they were former classmates and she had Ms. Shaw send them a special message (see comments)! This was so exciting for our students and teachers!

Mrs. Hailey closed with heartfelt words of wisdom, urging students to:
-Be authentically themselves
-Stay curious and ask questions
-Dream big and participate in activities
-Be kind to others

Thank you, Mrs. Hailey for taking the time to share your story and encourage them to dream big and believe that even people from small towns like Manning, SC can work in incredible careers!
