Can You Spell “Sibling Rivalry?”

Highland students in grades 4 - 8 recently held a school spelling bee. Each classroom held contests to choose two spelling representatives and an alternate:

Grade 4: Samuel Biba and Jordan Verheyen. Alternate: Ava Michek

Grade 5: Julianne Washa and Marissa Biba. Alternate: Milena Straka

Grade 6: Hailee Kahout and Logan Washa. Alternate: Aaliya Soto Wadel

Grade 7: Aiden Gates and Kate Tarrell. Alternate: Storm Gerhart.

Grade 8: Lializ Thao and Thomas John Hermansen. Alternate: Danette Meissner.

Those ten spellers competed on Tuesday, January 21 and went over 19 rounds to narrow down our school champion! You know how it is when you’re doing something you love and your little sister, or big brother, has to get involved? Well our top two spellers can relate, they were Logan and Julianne Washa. Little sister Julianne bested Logan and was crowned Spelling Bee Champion! Last year Julianne was our school’s runner-up and took her spelling show on the road all the way to Washington, D.C. Julianne and Logan will compete on January 27 at the East Sectional Bee.

On Friday you completed question 2 of Aggie Feud. It was a hotly contested question. There were 3 teachers, 2 middle school students and 20 high school students that had the perfect 50 yard dash answers. For the tie breaker, those with the perfect score were asked to rank the remainder of teachers.

The final winner was Sam Talo. Sam please pick up your prize when you come to Aggieville.

The correct placings according to the survey were: 1st Mr. Stanton, 2nd Mr. Kieler, 3rd Mr. Rueter and 4th Ms. Weber. Thank you so much for playing Aggie Feud.
