Spelling Bee Winners

The boardroom was buzzing as our district spelling bee winners were introduced to the crowd. Six Cabot students will represent the district at the Lonoke County Spelling Bee on Monday, January 26th in Carlisle.

Four of the six winners were able to make it to the meeting Tuesday night and they challenged board members to a spell off. It was close but the students pulled off the win!
