The B-E-S-T spellers at RBE

This trio of Robert Bennis Elementary students took the top prizes in the annual spelling bee on Nov. 17. Jayla Thompson (from left) captured second place, Valerie Adigbolo was crowned as RBE’s school champion, and Alexis Vanderham placed third. All three girls now advance to the regional spelling bee, which will be held in Sioux Falls in February. The local spelling bee is organized by the RBE Parent-Teacher Association. Submitted photo
