Rising First Grader Meets Mayor Magee

YaShea McSwain, age 5, is a rising first grader at Unlimited Dreams Christian Learning Center who was selected to provide the welcome address at her kindergarten graduation ceremony. She visited City Hall on Thursday afternoon and met with Laurel Mayor Johnny Magee. She wanted the meet Mayor Magee after learning about him at her graduation ceremony. “She is a very bright little girl and we are excited to congratulate her on being a first grader!” Mayor Magee said.

The City of Laurel, established as a lumber town in 1882, is conveniently situated approximately two hours from larger destination cities such as Jackson, Biloxi, New Orleans, and Mobile. In recent years, the city has become a destination all its own thanks, in part, to its starring role in HGTV’s popular “Hometown” series. As Laurel, and interest in it, continues to grow, we are committed to providing the resources necessary to help all of our residents and businesses reach their full potential.
