On February 23rd, Madeline Johnson, LES 5th grader and winner of the LES Spelling Bee, participated in the Regional Spelling Bee in Boulder. Maddie did an amazing job, going 5 rounds before going out on the word “inselberg” (a word Maddie says she hadn’t even heard of)! She aced words like “exuberant and erudite” and says she really enjoyed the experience. We are so proud of you, Maddie!
