The annual spelling bee at at Boundary County Middle School was filled with excitement, encouragement, and celebration. The students cheered each other on, embraced their own achievements, and celebrated the successes of their peers.
Boundary County Middle School sends a huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Bonners Ferry for generously providing the prizes for the first and second place winners and for volunteering to make this event truly special.
Congratulations to the top two winners of each grade!
Sixth grade: Sephie Faraoni, first, and Josephine Villarreal, second.
Seventh grade: Jaxen Rice, first, and Emma Robertson, second.
Eighth grade: Wesley Beagle, first, and Wyatt Collins, second.
