2024 New Glarus School District Spelling Bee

On the evening of January 3rd, the Middle and Elementary school held the annual spelling bee. We had 24 contestants that participated, from 4th through 8th grade. It was an impressive competition that went well into the evening. We are proud of all of the students who participated in this competition. A big congratulations to 7th grader Lucy Sidwell, who was the Winner of the Bee, and to 4th grader Emmett Lamb, who was the runner-up. These two students will continue on to the regional Spelling Bee in Stoughton, later this month. We know that they will represent our school well!
