There’s no doubt that Indian Lake Middle School seventh-grader Grace Johnson comes from a long “lineage” of intelligence.
She is the 2021 Indian Lake Middle School Spelling Bee champion.
Grace spelled the word “lineage” correctly to win the contest. Fifth-grader Kirk Beres took the second spot.
It took eight rounds to eliminate the 20 other students who were all chosen from Language Arts classes to participate in the bee. Students were provided spelling words from the Scripps National Spelling Bee List.
Grace and Kirk advance to the Logan County Spelling Bee Jan. 20 at Riverside Schools.
