Congratulations to the winners, as well as all who competed.
For grades 3 through 5, Jada Nomikos won, with Lucas Lopez finishing second.
For grades 6 through 8, Isabella Schuch is the school champion, with Melanie Aceves a close second.
Teacher Robert Gebel, spelling bee coordinator, said that the school is aligned with the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and the next step is for Isabella to take a CPS spelling and vocabulary test within the next few weeks. If she scores in the top 50, she qualifies for the CPS Citywide Bee at the Lindblom Math & Science Academy on March 15. The winner of that will head to Washington D.C. for the National Spelling Bee.
Carrie Hobbs, a special education teacher, served as pronouncer in the Byrne Spelling Bee.
