Discussion Summary:
The Humble Independent School District (HISD) recently held its district-wide spelling bee on January 29, 2023. The contest brought together winners from elementary and middle school campuses to compete for the top prize. The HISD Spelling Bee Champion was Morgan Sands, an eighth grader from Kingwood Middle School. The runner-up was Elijah Beatty, a fourth grader from Jack Fields Elementary. Sands will move on to compete in the 2023 Scripps Regional Spelling Bee hosted by Houston Community College on March 25, 2023. If Sands is unavailable for the contest, Beatty will compete instead. The HISD hosts a spelling bee for grades 3-8 every year. To participate, students must first compete in a campus-level bee, and winners move on to the district-level competition. The students not only learn how to spell words, but they also learn their origins, parts of speech, and definitions. The forum members congratulated the winners and runner-ups for the 2023 contest. Some members commented on the importance of spelling and how it is often overlooked in today's society due to the prevalence of spell check. Overall, the forum discussion was positive and celebratory of the students' achievements.
