When I was young, one of my favorite things about grade school were our spelling bees.  Thursday, the Intermediate School held a Spelling Bee with a representative from each of our 23 classrooms, and the competition was lively!  After 4 rounds, the competition was down to three students, then two.  Those two battled for over 20 minutes before a victor claimed the title of winner of our first ever building spelling bee.  Congratulations to Carter Havens who was crowned our spelling champ, and congrat’s, too, go to Amanda Bradley who gave him a spirited run for his money, and to Matt Gaede, who finished as our 2nd alternate.  Carter and Matt are 5th graders, and Amanda is a 6th grader.  We wish them good luck at the next level, which will be a county event on Monday.
