Chris Heady from Shawnee Mission East and Lily Lieberman from Blue Valley North lead a group of seven students cited by KSPA as winners in the February Story of the Month competition.
Heady’s feature story about a former East student whose parents died within six months of each other tied with Lieberman’s account of a classmate who has battled drug addiction to chart a positive path for the best feature story from February.
