Shortly after winter break, individual homerooms held class spelling contests and narrowed it down to 2 final spellers. These students studied for the all-school spelling bee using lists provided by Scripps National Spelling Bee. Families of spellers were invited to attend and cheer on their spellers.
I reminded our spellers, audience and family members that all of the spellers should be very proud. Everyone on that stage is an excellent speller and deserves to be there. Congratulations to the following spellers who made it to the all-school spelling bee.
Zach Owen, Dylan Schmidt, Caitlin Flebbe, Madeline Molidor, Ben Ward, Allie Dercole
Braeden Horne, Aliyah Andersen, Trevor Wirtz, Blake Bowers, Orion Western, Jake Depner
Madison Frost, Cole Haynes, Adrian Mascote, Leyla Wagner, Lana Bowers, Delaney Stern
Alex Tijerina, Alicia Hurley, Cali Courtemanche, Kaylee Hensley, Peyton Koczersut, Josh Brown
Cooper Boeckh, Lilia Rothschild, Everett Sanderson, Vivian Davis, Micayla Wacaser,
Jeramy Morgan, Hannah Brown, Bella Nitz, Jessica McCue and Will Dalebroux.
It was quite an exciting event. The students demonstrated outstanding spelling skills as well as amazing poise and sportsmanship. The students in the audience appeared to be as excited as they would be watching a thrilling football game! They were so happy when their classmates spelled correctly and were respectful and encouraging when a classmate did not spell correctly. I was very proud of all of our students.
Congratulations to our winner, 5th grader Braeden Horne from Mrs. Diedrich's class and our first runner-up, 4th grader Will Dalebroux. Both of these students will represent JCB at the Regional Spelling Bee at Nippersink Middle School to be held on Wednesday, February 3, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. We wish them the best of luck.
