CMS Hershel Olson Family Memorial Spelling Bee

Congratulations to all the brilliant spellers from Cozad Middle School who participated in this year's Spelling Bee!  Around 25 CMS students participated in this year's Cozad Middle School Spelling Bee.  Nine Finalists competed in the finals on Valentine's Day

A special shoutout to our top 3 winners of the Hershel Olson Family Memorial Spelling Bee Award, presented by Mr. Joel Carlson!  Taegan Dexter clinched the 3rd place, while Whitney Regelin impressed as the Runner-Up. And our CHAMPION was Julien Davis!  Julien's exceptional spelling skills have earned him the opportunity to represent CMS at the state spelling bee in March at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Way to go, Julien! 

Big thanks to Mr. Joel Carlson for sponsoring the Hershel Olson Family Memorial Spelling Bee and to Jann Kloepping for moderating this exciting event! Let's continue to celebrate the power of words and the dedication of our students.
