From December through January, elementary and middle school students participated in the annual USD 231 Spelling Bees. Outstanding spelling skills were witnessed in all grade levels with finalists tackling some pretty difficult words.
The winners at each school will advance on to the annual Johnson County Spelling Bee scheduled for Jan. 27, at Indian Woods Middle School, Shawnee Mission School District.
The winner at the state level receives an all-expense paid trip to Washington DC.
