Every year Tri-Valley students at the four elementary schools (grades four through six) and the middle school have an opportunity to test into a spelling bee that each school holds.
After narrowing it down to the top spellers from each school, those spellers face off find a building winner. This year’s building winners were Baylie Tignor (Adamsville Elementary), Aaden Ryan (Dresden Elementary), Owen Harney (Frazeysburg Elementary), Emme Cunningham (Nashport Elementary and Eric Timm (TV Middle School).
The top six to ten students from the building bees got to represent each school at the district bee which was held on January 21 at Nashport Elementary.
42 Contestants showed up but in the final round it all came down to Kaileanna Tolliver, runner up and Lizzie Mjolhus, 2020 TV District Spelling Bee Champion. Both were awarded trophies and Century National Bank savings accounts with a monetary donation already alotted.
