Spelling Bee Results Update

Due to a procedural error that took place during the spelling bee, we have new and updated results. The champion for the LKMS spelling bee is seventh grader Tara Vallabha, and our runner up is eighth grader Alex Leonard.  We are very sorry for the confusion and we applaud all the students who took part in this program, and wish Tara good luck at the Howard County Spelling Bee.
