Spelling Bee Whiz - Off to Regionals!

Master Speller Connor took first place at Holgate's spelling bee recently.   Competing for top honors were all students from the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades; around 450 students.   WAY TO GO BUDDY!!
Here he is featured in the school's newsletter.

He'll be going to the regional competition on February 7th.  If he places there, he'll go on to state.
We're studying like mad with him in the interim.  A lot of his study guide words are insanely difficult to spell (and some even to pronounce!).   Being the spelling nerd, I LOVE that.  There are some really great words.

Good luck Connor!
