Congratulations Spellers
Congratulations to our new school spelling bee champion – 6th grader Emersyn J! She made it through 35 rounds before winning it big with the word “hydrogen.” (Although that was definitely not her trickiest word.)
Emersyn will represent MTMS at the Johnson County Bee on January 26. And all twelve spellers from today will compete again on February 5 at the Kaw Valley League Bee. Be sure to wish them good luck!
