A spelling bee can be just as exciting as a championship sports event. Just ask the 55 talented students from 11 Leona Group schools who competed recently in the Midwest Spelling Bee. The event included schools from Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. The event was very exciting as the last duo of spellers battled to the very end.
Big-time thanks to Tamasha James (Co-host), coordinators Shavonne Brown, Darlene Corbin, Jeff Fett, Joe Wrone, Madalin Kaltz; Special thanks to the judges who judged like they have been judging all of their lives: Barbara Barrett, Nina Jackson, April Mcghee, and Mary Lou Van Antwerp. Some details were handled by three Consortium seniors: Ashlee Pierson, Kevin Williams, and Krystal Williams.
