Antwerp Local School held its spelling bee on Friday, December 12th for students in grades five through eight. After over 30 rounds, sixth grader Grace Tuttle (middle) won the bee when she spelled the word “granulation” correctly.
Eighth grader Iris Sorrell was the runner-up (left) and will be an alternate if needed at the county bee. Fifth grader Gaige McMichael (right) was the last fifth grader in the spelling bee, so he will represent Antwerp Elementary in the county spelling bee.
Tuttle and McMichael will compete in the Paulding County Spelling Bee on February 2, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. at Antwerp Local School.
