The words this year were particularly challenging for the age group, some of them difficult even for adults. By the final round, finalists received words such as sufficiently and transience. The winning word - perfectionism - was spelled correctly by sixth-grader Maggie Street, earning her the school championship. Maggie and the runner-up, eighth-grader Jesse Rodrigues, will continue on to the county-level phase of the competition. Congratulations!
