Congratulations to our Super Spellers who competed at yesterday's Spelling Bee! A big shout out goes to first place winner, Aerabella, 2nd place winner, Evelynn and alternate, Alivia for a strong showing. Everyone did well under stressful spelling circumstances and should be very proud of themselves. We are so grateful to Rhonda from Citizens Bank and Jason from Apple River State Bank for the sponsorship and support of this year's spelling bee!
