December 15, 2024 | 2024-25 District Spelling Bee 

In 2025, we're celebrating 100 years of the Scripps National Spelling Bee program! The 2024-25 WCS District Spelling Bee was held at WMS on December 13th. The top spellers from each elementary school, along with the top spellers from WMS competed to determine the 1st place speller in WCS.

These spellers were fantastic! After 8 rounds of spelling, Wesley W. from Oakdale was the second place speller in the district and Johan P. from Swanson came in first place!  The championship word was “alimentation”.

Johan advances to Omaha Sports Commission Spelling Bee (regional). The 2025 Omaha Sports Commission Spelling Bee will take place on the campus of University of Nebraska Omaha on March 15, 2025. The champion of the Omaha Sports Commission Spelling Bee will advance to the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee that takes place May 27th-May 29.

Congratulations to these top spellers!
