Disponible en: Español

Fifty students participated in the 2013 Aldine District Spelling Bee held Feb.12 at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center. The contestants advanced to the district competition after winning at the level.

After nine rounds, Denisse Córdova of Hambrick Middle School won the Spelling Bee with the word “agnostic.” Bruce Nguyen of Rayford Intermediate (who happened to be competing against his brother) earned the first runner-up spot with the word “piccolo.”

Both Córdova and Nguyen will advance on to the televised Houston PBS Spelling Bee on March 23.

Winners of the Houston PBS Spelling Bee will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee set for May 26 through June 1 in Washington, D.C.
