MS Spelling Bee - January 14, 2010
Twenty participants took the stage for this year's MS Spelling Bee. They were also joined by the winner and runner-up of the ES Bee who held their own quite nicely with the older kids and stayed in for over half the rounds.
This year's spellers were: Grace Berens, Josh Bootsma, Chris Bravo, Logan Byrne
Emily Gilbert, Chris Gregorio, Jack Hennel, David Langkamp, Brittany Middel, Jack Miller, Rebecca Overend, Sam Sticha, Josh Stowers, Connor VanderBrug, Ellie Van Stee, Charis Valmores, Rebecca Voulgarakis, Lindsay Weinheimer, Christopher Wiper,
Alex Zebutis
Tough competition made for a longer than usual Bee. Slowly, the group was whittled down until there were only two. Rebecca Voulgarakis and Josh Bootmsa went back and forth for several rounds until Rebecca emerged as champion and Josh as runner-up. She will now go on to represent Timothy Christian in the Dupage County Private School Spelling Bee, held on February 3.
Congratulations to Rebecca, Joshua and all the Middle School Participants!
