Rachel Hatfield of McDowell Elementary School wins district-wide spelling bee!


If you can't find a dictionary, you might want to tap Rachel Hatfield of McDowell Elementary School on the shoulder.

The Taylor School District held its annual Spelling Bee yesterday for fourth- and fifth-graders in the system. Hatfield ended up the champion with Courtney Hadrian the runner up. Other participants included Valentina Stewart, Robbie Hudzinski, Jared Lutton, Kyle Harper, Lucas Lovelady and James Polak.

Each school's winner during the competition was presented with a trophy by Supt. Diane Allen, Spelling Bee Chairperson Sue Massucci (principal of Holland Elementary School) and Word Pronouncer Lynne Borg (principal of McDowell Elementary School).

The competition was judged by Marybeth Swor, owner of Big Boy Restaurants; Pattie Masserang (Lifetouch Photography); and Karen DePriest (founder of Christie's Legacy of Hope).

Everyone involved in this year's Spelling Bee said that they were very proud of the students and congratulate them for being winners and doing such a great job!
