The Spelling Bee ended after 9 rounds. Kais finished the round spelling the word “ferret.” He then was given the challenge word, “hostile” to spell, and he finished out in first place by spelling that word correctly as well. Kais will now represent Lonoke County in the Arkansas State Spelling Bee in Little Rock on March 11th.
