MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER HOSTS SPELLING BEE BY: TRICIA SIMPSON On December 5th, the middle school participated in the spelling bee Mrs. Taylor hosts every year. Mrs. T has been hosting this spelling bee for 15 years for “kids who are more interested in academics rather than sports.” This year Alexis Humes won for the 8th grade with Shayla Whitmore being the runner up and Lillian Wagner won for the 7th grade with the runner up being Logan Weller. Alexis Humes was really proud of herself for winning the spelling bee. She remembers feeling “very nervous” during the competition. While spelling words, she was doubting herself, but she got past that and eventually won.

Lillian Wagner was also very proud of herself for winning the spelling bee. Lillian was nervous because during the competition other classes came in and watched. She didn’t doubt herself during it because she was confident in what she was spelling. The two winners will go on to participate in the County Spelling Bee at Truman Middle School on February 4th.
