Thank you to all of the students and parents for their support, the GT Facilitators/Spelling Bee coaches for helping with this activity, and Darcy Johnson, Patti Turner and Alison Pukurdpol for serving as judges.

A special thank you to Steve Wolf, Principal at Powell Middle, and his staff for their assistance with making this event a success but also for quickly and efficiently working out the details after the Bee was canceled earlier in the month due to inclement weather.

A great thank you goes to Dr. Amy Oaks, Principal at Littleton High School, for once again serving as the Pronouncer for the Bee. Best wishes to these students as they go on to represent LPS at the State Spelling Bee on March 16th.
