The Southeast Middle School Spelling Bee was held on Thursday, January 18, 2024. All middle schoolers competed within their ELA classrooms and 37 students made it to our school finals. Congratulations to Grand Champion Graham Sutton, Champion Bella Brackett, and alternates Kylee Holcomb and Zoe Villers. Graham and Bella will compete in the Portage County Spelling Bee in February representing Southeast Middle School. Kylee and Zoe will be alternates for Southeast if one of the champions is unable to attend. The Portage County Spelling Bee is scheduled for February 15th at James A. Garfield Middle School in the Iva Walker Auditorium, located at 10231 OH-88, Garrettsville, OH 44231.
This year, the mission of the Portage County Spelling Bee is to determine the top ten spellers from our county bee who will move on to represent Portage County at the Akron Regional Bee in March.
Congratulations to these top students and thank you to all of our students for their tremendous effort!
