Six Galion City School District Students selected to compete in Crawford County Spelling Bee

GALION — Six Galion City School District students will compete in the Crawford County Spelling Bee, which will be held virtually at 10 a.m. Jan. 19. The bee will include students from Crawford and Morrow counties. Top spellers will be invited to participate in the Tri-County Spelling Bee at 6:30 pm. Feb. 9 at the Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center in Mansfield.

Students in third-eighth grades were eligible and competed in a selection process, which included studying a list of words increasing in difficulty and identification as a top speller in their classroom either through participating in a written spelling bee or from prior spelling test success. The top six grade-level qualifiers then participated in a second written bee, determining the Galion City School District's top overall spellers.

The Galion students who qualified for the Crawford County Spelling Bee this year are: Ramon Hawk, seventh grade and Galion District champion; Ayla Reed, eighth grade; Nakian Cameron, sixth grade; Addison Parsons, sixth grade; Shaylee Jones, seventh grade; and Clara Mae Padilla, third grade.

Through the qualifying process, Ramon Hawk was selected as Galion’s District champion. He will have the opportunity to take an online test to qualify for the Scripps Regional Bee that will be held at Ohio University in March.

Upcoming meetings:

● Crawford County Board of Developmental Disabilities, 5:30 p.m., Jan. 19, board room, 1630 E. Southern Ave., Suite 101, Bucyrus
