Friday, December 1, Wayne Trace seventh and eighth grade students participated in their annual junior high spelling bee. Eighth-grader Faith Meraz, last year’s reigning champion, took first place in the spelling bee, correctly spelling “grandiose” and then “atoll.” Congratulations to both Faith as well as eighth-grade runner-up, Isaiah Pirani. Congratulations!
