SAA Student Places Seventh in Spelling Bee

Melissa Emmel placed seventh in the Madison All-City Spelling Bee, held today at Monona Grove High School. Spelling challenging words such as "baronet," "nexus," and "interdisciplinary," Melissa was eventually eliminated in the eighth round on "mycology," defined as the study of fungi.

55 students from public, private, and home schools participated in this year's bee, sponsored by the Wisconsin State Journal. The winner of today's bee, Isabel Jacobsen from O'Keefe Middle School, will advance to the Badger State Bee on March 17. Congratulations Melissa!
