Mackenzie Mullin (6)
placed first,
Ivanna Karakosta (6)
second, and
Ryan Conrad (6)
third.
Tyler Graddy (6)
is our alternate should one of the top three students be unable to attend the district spelling bee on
March 24th at 6:00 pm
in the

Please congratulate our top spellers!
Mrs. Bucknell challenged her sixth grade homeroom to sweep the bee - and they delivered!
