KMS NEWSLETTER
Friday’s school spelling bee delivered a truly unforgettable finish. With 23 competitors to start, the field narrowed to just two spellers after the 3rd round, setting the stage for an incredible showdown.
Charity Holt and Emma Christiansen battled through an astonishing sixteen(!!!) head to head rounds in a nail biting finale that kept the audience on edge.
Charity ultimately emerged victorious, but not without an impressive and determined effort from Runner Up Emma.
Both students are on standby for the KIBSD Spelling Bee on February 3, from 6-8pm in the Gerald C. Wilson Auditorium Drama Pod. Charity will represent KMS and Emma will serve as the backup speller should the need arise. This was the longest KMS spelling bee I have ever witnessed and an exciting display of academics and spirited competition.
Congratulations to all who entered! We are so proud of our student spellers!!
Thank you to Ms. Norton for hosting, Ms. Grizz, Mr. Pysher, Ms. Lhotka, and Ms. Bruns for judging, parents, families and friends for coming to support our students!
