Spelling Bee Time!

Macon East students recently participated in one of the oldest educational competitions in the United States of America, dating back to as far as the 1700s – the Spelling Bee! The spelling bee is an educational competition of spelling and vocabulary and can be an exciting and enriching experience.

Elise Logan, Madison Vocino, Eli Churchwell, Ava Noffsinger and Halyn Wren recently represented their grades in the AISA District competition at Chambers Academy. Alternates who attended in support of their classmates were: Bella Chambers, Hagen Owens, Bentley Graham, Sophie Clark and Bentley Faulk.

Ava Noffsinger won the District spelling bee by spelling the word solve correctly and then tongs for the win! Halyn Wren was the alternate for 4th grade.

The AISA State Spelling Bee was held at Troy University of Montgomery Rosa Parks Auditorium on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 and Ava Noffsinger won 1st runner up for the 5th grade level! Way to go Ava!

The importance to support our young generation in building a solid foundation in spelling and vocabulary is very important to us at Macon East and we believe it leads to better literacy. We are so proud of all our students, Mrs. Johnson (Spelling Bee Sponsor) and all the teachers who teach and support these kiddos!
