Today, students participated in a schoolwide spelling bee. All participants were the winners of their classroom spelling bees. We were so impressed at such great spelling all around today, but three wildcats rose above all the rest! First place was eighth grader Michael Gregg, second place was seventh grader Aislynn Walton, and third place was eighth grader Ansgar Sainvil. Michael will move on to the district spelling bee in a few weeks!! Congratulations to all finalists as well as to spelling bee sponsors Mr. Cain, Mrs. Fite, Ms. Tucker, Mr. Strohman, and Mrs. Kiem.🐾🐾 #WildcatPride
