Storey Record

Fifth through Eighth grade students who place first and second go into a "spell-off" between the top eight overall spellers.  Joseph Tu (5th grade) and Annette Meyer (6th grade) qualified for the spell-off.  Annette placed second overall and Joseph placed 5th.  Annette will advance to the Regional Spelling Bee in Irving on March 12, 2011.  We are proud that our Canyon Creek team placed two spellers in the spell-off, and  had so many others in close competition.

Congratulations to all our spellers!
