“Hydrogen” was the correct spelling for Marcia King, a 7th grader from the Friday Harbor Middle School, the first-place winner at the 13th Annual Rotary Spelling Bee on March 1.

Marcia received a trophy, a check for $100. Her 7th grade class, taught by Mr. McMain, was awarded $200, and her school received $300.

In second place was Meg Carrier, a 7th grader from Friday Harbor Middle School. Meg received a trophy, a check for $75. Her class taught by Mr. McMain, received $150, and her school was awarded $200.
