Champion is now spelled “K-A-I-D-E-N” after Kaiden S., a fourth-grade scholar from Lemasters Elementary School, emerged victorious in his second consecutive RGSD Elementary Spelling Bee. The event was hosted at Lemasters due to his victory last year.
Kaiden defended his spelling crown by correctly spelling “laurel.” He emerged victorious after 28 rounds of fierce competition against the district’s top elementary spellers.
