The Logan School Spelling Bee was held on January 22 in the auditorium.  Twenty-nine spellers took part in the competition. Mrs. Jansonius welcomed everyone to the spelling bee and went over the rules.  Mr. Kirkendall was the pronouncer, Mr. Gower and Mrs. Kibbee were the judges, Mrs. Brown was the protest judge, and Mr. Jansonius was the videographer. 

After the second round, twelve spellers remained.  They were 4^th grader Scarlet Tien, 6th graders Aleeah Tien, Conner Gottschalk, Lakin Dougherty, Clayton Becker, Mia Joyce, Raelynn Duncan, and Treyson Brackney, 7^th grader Zoe Tien, and 8^th graders Tobin Kats, Henry States, and Kinley VanDerVeen.  Tying for 9^th place, Raelynn, Tobin, Scarlet, and Mia were eliminated in round three.  Aleeah, Conner, and Zoe all tied for 6^th place going out in round 5.  Tying for 3^rd place were Lakin, Clayton, and Henry who all went out in round 6.  Treyson and Kinley just went one more round as Kinley correctly spelled “sequins” and “fabulous” to become the champion.    

Congratulations to all of the spellers on a terrific competition!
