Benjamin Logan Middle School seventh-grader Ian Scheiderer correctly spelled the word “fluorescent” to win his school’s spelling bee Dec. 13.
He and runner-up winner Averi Lane went head-to-head for a number of rounds before the final championship round. A total of 37 students competed in the bee from grades 5 through 8.
Both Ian and Averi will represent Benjamin Logan at the Logan County Spelling Bee in January. Ian also will take an online spelling test in an attempt to qualify for the next level in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
