Six students from North Lamar Independent School District will compete with others in the county for a chance to win the Lamar County Spelling Bee Championship title. Campus winners are 4th Graders Jonathan Greenwell and Curt Malone from Bailey Intermediate, 5th Graders James Odie and Colleen Dawson from Aaron Parker Elementary, and 8th Graders Trinitidee Edwards (2012 Lamar County Spelling Bee Runner-up) and Steele Musgrove (third time to participate in the Lamar County Spelling Bee) from Stone Middle School.
Those who have registered from public, private, charter, and home school in grades 4-8 will gather on February 12 at 4:00 p.m. in the North Lamar High School Auditorium to spell words like sacrilegious, crustaceology or appoggiatura. The winner of the Lamar County Spelling Bee will advance to The Dallas Morning News Regional Spelling Bee in March. The champion of the Regional Bee qualifies for an all-expense paid trip for three to the Scripps National Bee near Washington, D. C. in May 2013.
