We're proud to announce the winners of this year's Metro Kathryn C. Mitchell Spelling Bee!
- First Place—Curren Neenan from Meigs Magnet
- Runner-Up—Gary Johnson from McKissack Middle
These two young men will be competing in the Davidson County Bee on February 7, 2012 with 7th and 8th graders from all over Davidson County. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding young men on this achievement.
We also want to extend a special thank you to the Nashville Chapter of Links, Inc. who co-sponsored the Metro-Kathryn C. Mitchell Bee and those in that organization who awarded the first place winner a $500 check and the second place winner a $250 check. The Charles Davis Foundation provided plaques for each of the participants. In addition to providing these wonderful awards, the Links organization also sponsored a reception for the spelling bee contestants, their families and the teacher sponsors.
The Davidson County Bee will be held February 7, 2012 at Trevecca Nazarene University. Our students will be competing with other 7th and 8th graders from many of our counties private schools.
Thank you to all students who participated. All participants did an outstanding job of representing their schools!
