On Wednesday, November 23rd, the 4th through 8th grade participated in the Spelling Bee and the Geography Bee. The students all had plans to party before Thanksgiving break, but first they had to spell their little hearts out and also work through the Geography Bee. During the spelling bee Sean James came in second place, while Abrielle Johnson out spelled everyone and became the 2016 HCS Spelling Bee winner.
After all that excitement, the students showed how much they knew about geography. The students were whittled down to runner-up Kaylee Witham, while 7th grader, Lily Wellman became the winner. The students performed great under pressure. If you see one of these great students, please congratulate them. Go Hawks!
