Congratulations! We are proud to announce that Terrance B. won this years’ spelling bee at Jack Benny. Terrance beat 82 other participants and showed a lot of poise in standing up in front of 650 students and spelling some very difficult words. We are very proud of Terrance and wish him well in the Sectional Spelling Bee which be held at Forrestal Elementary School in Great Lakes IL.
We would also like to congratulate Marianne C. who is the runner up at this years’ spelling bee. The competition between Marianne and Terrance was exciting and had viewers on the edge of their seat. If Terrance is unable to attend the Section Spelling Bee, Marianne will take his place. Special Thanks to Mr. Greg Freels for coordinating the Jack Benny Spelling Bee. A job well done by all!

If you receive any please mark the date and time and I will collect them from you. Summer Enrichment Academy The District is offering a variety of classes over the summer and want us to be sure the students know what the opportunities are and how to apply.
