Spelling Bee Results

Congratulations to all of our spelling bee participants! Our TWCA Spelling Bee took place on December 4^th and was a huge success. All of our students’ hard work paid off. The top spellers advanced to the ASCI District Spelling Bee in Huntsville on Friday, January 17^th. We are so proud of our 5^th-8^th graders who advanced to the District level!

There was incredibly stiff competition at the district competition, with the top four spellers advancing to the Final Spell-Off. There were 28 students participating in 5th grade who endured 16 rounds to determine the winners. The 6th grade level had 22 students competing, with 24 rounds to determine the winners. Will Brown advanced to the final spell-off by earning 1^st Place in the 6^th grade bee and advanced to the final spell-off for 5^th-8^th grade where he made it into a tiebreaker for 7^th place.

We had 18 students participating in the 7th grade bee, going through seven rounds to determine the winners. Jacob Ellis earned 2^nd Place and Alistair Cuevas received 4^th Place. Both advanced to the Final Spell-Off for 5^th-8^thgrade where Alistair ultimately won 3^rd Place and Jacob 7^th Place. Alistair and Jacob will now advance to the Regional Spelling Bee in Plano in March. The 8th grade bee had 14 students competing, with 18 rounds to determine the winners. All of our students did an amazing job!
