The Melvern community was able to enjoy the annual Easter egg hunt this year due to the efforts of the local junior high school student council.

For many years, the Melvern Jr. Highline 4-H Club has held the Melvern Easter Egg Hunt, but when the Marais des Cygnes Valley Junior High Stuco found out this year the 4-H club couldn’t do it, they didn’t let their community down.

The StuCo spent a week putting eggs together and stuffing them with candy (with most of the candy donated by community member Lori Walker) in preparation for the big day. Stuco members felt blessed with a beautiful day and a huge crowd of people who showed up on Saturday, April 3, 2021, to celebrate the annual Easter Egg Hunt.

MdCV Junior High Stuco members helping to organize the hunt were, Akyra Traver, Clare Hockett, Destiny Moore, Braelyn McNally, and Allie Reeser as the Easter Bunny; not pictured, Lexi Totty, Dalton Lingenfelter, Ella Reed, and Landon Reed.
