After seven rounds of spelling in the 64th Annual Bartow County Spelling Bee, Kingston Elementary School fourth grader, Fallon Frye, spelled “ambiguous” and then "anachronism” to WIN! This year's amazing runner-up is Michael Tavernier, a fifth grader from Taylorsville Elementary School! They actually battled it out for about 13 additional rounds at the very end! Congratulations!
Fallon now advances to the regional spelling bee on February 22, 2025.
