NPAS Spelling Bee

This past Saturday, our district spelling be was held, and Falcon Ridge was well-represented by 19 students. In the end, only one Falcon Ridge student would eligible to move on to the regional competition on Tuesday, February 18 at South Central College in North Mankato. Congratulations to Manjiri Palayekar, who edged out Matthew Cherro to take first place. After 37 grueling rounds, she won by spelling the word 'postponable' correctly. The winner of the regional competition will move on to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.D. during Bee Week, May 25-31, 2014.
