Here is the winner of the 11th annual Rotary Club Spelling Bee!
Joanna Evans of Mr. McMain’s 8th grade class at the F.H. Middle School was our winning word whiz. Joanna won $100 for herself, $200 for her class, and $300 for the F.H. Middle School. She won in the 13th round against her worthy opponent Marcia King. Marcia, the Second-place winner from Mr. Duke’s 5th grade class, won $75 for herself, $150 for her class, and $200 for F.H. Elementary School.
The spelling bee was organized and hosted by the San Juan Island Rotary Club, and featured San Juan students from grades 4th to 8th from Paideia Classical School and F.H. Middle and Elementary Schools.
Carol Linde and Carla Wright were the judges, Dr. Carolyn Haugen served as the pronouncer, and Steve Bowman was the emcee. Rotary president Jonathan Piff awarded the prizes.
