Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) held its annual spelling bee on December 15, 2022. After multiple spelling and vocabulary rounds, Kennedy Road Middle School Eighth Grade Student Shenise Scott won with the word “pioneered.”
The district runner-up is Moreland Road Elementary Fifth Grade Student Cyron Anthony.
The annual spelling bee is open to grades 4-8. Each GSCS elementary and middle school held a competition in November to select one student to advance to the district level (and one alternate who participates in the district bee only if the winner is unavailable).
The Griffin-Spalding chapter of the Georgia Association of Educators (GAE) awarded the winner a trophy and a $100 gift card and the runner-up a trophy and a $50 gift card.
Shenise Scott will compete against students from seven other counties in the GAE Regional Spelling Bee on February 25 in Conyers.
Congratulations to all the school winners and special thanks to the coordinators.
