District Spelling Bee
District Spelling Bee
On Thursday, GISD students in 2nd-8th grade participated in the 8th annual GISD District Spelling Bee. All 15 of these students first competed at their individual campus spelling bees, which were part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee contest. The highest performing students from each grade level/campus were invited to compete at the District Bee. Although the District Bee does not determine advancement in the Scripps Bee, it gives GISD an opportunity to recognize the top spellers at each campus and practice for the next level of the Scripps Bee. The Bee Champion, Amira Khan, 6th grade, successfully completed 15 rounds. Second place is Uriel Tellez, 7th grade, and finishing in third place is Avery Crutsinger, 6th grade.
The January Students of the Month were nominated by teachers for their leadership, compassion for others, making good choices, and for setting a good example for their classmates.
Congratulations to the January Leopard Pride students of the month:
