Tuesday’s Spelling Bee was an exciting in-person competition in the middle school. The final spellers completed 30 intense rounds of competition to make it to the very end and move on to the cluster bee against other schools nearby in February. First place finisher was eighth grader Reva Kelly, second place was eighth grader Noa Smudde, and seventh grader Imanuel Brandon came in third. Seventh grader Neila Wright was an alternate. All fourteen spellers did an admirable job and showcased impressive spelling prowess.
