Fifth-grader Lauren Isham was a stuff competitor and fought for her spot as our second place winner. Madison Dawson, our fearless competitor came in third place as a third-grader representing Charles E. Riley. We also had a fourth runner up, sixth-grader Liam Hinman who didn't go down without a fight.
Charles E. Riley School is proud of the members who will be representing our school and we wish them the best of luck as they practice and learn new words in preparation of the Regional Spelling Bee held on March 17th. The students will be competing for a spot to the 2018 Scripps National Spelling Bee held in Washington D.C.
These students are truly magnificent!
