Harlem Elementary held their Bee on Friday, February 3. Janice Gilham was proud of the effort put forth by the students saying, "All of the participants did an impressive job, but fifth grader, Arin Healy-Paris, managed to hold off his competitors to come out on top as this year's champion speller." The runners up, in no particular order, were Kingston Johnson (6th Grade), Caleb Stiffarm (5th Grade), Ryan Fetter (6th Grade), and Buck Guerrero (5th Grade).
In Chinook the school released a list of winners from its Spelling Bee held, Tuesday, February 7. Eight grader Rangler Skoyen was the top speller outlasting all other competitors.
