MARLTON -- On Thursday, January 25, students at Harold Van Zant Elementary and their P-R-O-U-D families will gather for the 4th Annual Marlton Woman’s Club Spelling Bee, which will be held at Van Zant School in Marlton. The contest is open to all fourth and fifth graders at the school, which is located at 207 Conestoga Drive in Marlton.
