Super Spellers
Levelland ISD held its annual District Spelling Bee on Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Eight students, the champion and runner-up from South Elementary, Capitol Elementary, Levelland Intermediate and Levelland Middle Schools, participated in the District-wide event. After eight rounds, the field of spellers was down to just two. Matthew Bush from South Elementary and Laci White from Levelland Intermediate went back and forth in the Championship round six more times before Laci correctly spelled the words euro and granola to win the Bee. Laci will represent Levelland ISD at the Regional Spelling Bee hosted by the Lubbock Avalanche Journal on March 5 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The winner of the Regional Bee will travel to the National Spelling Bee in Washington DC.
