Congratulations to the K12 Regional Spelling Bee Winners

Last week, K¹² challenged 46 students to put their spelling skills to the test as they competed in our online regional spelling bees. Make no mistake that the road to the regionals was not easy!  When it was over, 12 students made it through and will find themselves competing in the K¹² National Spelling Bee held in May.

Let's congratulate the following 12 students heading to the Nationals!
