Lakewood Public Library would like to congratulate the winners of the third annual Spelling Bee Championship. This year we had twenty students compete in two different categories. The winners in the 4th and 5th grade competition included: Drew Sheldon as the first place winner, Zeartus Perry Jr. as the second place winner, and Rebecca Bjelopera as the third place winner. There were eleven students who competed for these top three spots.

The top three winners in the 6th through 8th grade competition included: Maura Therber as the first place winner, Jenan Alkhdour as the second place winner, and Cassie Cisco who placed third out of a group of nine finalists. Each student competed in a preliminary round of written and oral spelling challenges to earn the right to spell in the  final championship. Congratulations to all who competed this year! We look forward to challenging you again next year.
