OAK HILL — Weather-permitting, Fayette County’s top spellers will converge at Oak Hill High School on Thursday, Jan. 14 for the annual county spelling bee.
According to facilitator Dale Arrington, the event is actually a two-in-one affair. The county’s fourth-grade students will participate beginning at 9 a.m., followed by grades 4-8 at 10 a.m.
Fifty-two spellers have qualified for the event.
Trophies will be presented to the top three finishers in each bee, and each participant will receive a medallion and a certificate.
From the county bee involving four grade levels, the top two spellers will advance to the regional spelling bee at Capital High School in March. The third-place finisher will be the alternate.
The public is welcome to attend, Arrington said.
After the bee, spellers will be treated to lunch courtesy of Wendy’s of Oak Hill.
