Our Champions & Runners-Up:
- Zoe Henry – 5th Grade Runner-Up
- Caden Tafoya – 7th Grade Champion
- Jaden Netto – 7th Grade Runner-Up
These talented students will now move on to represent Kingsford at the U.P. Finals on Wednesday, March 11th:
- Zoe will compete at St. John’s School in Ishpeming.

The day will culminate in an elite "Spell Off" at Negaunee High School to determine the overall U.P. Champion. We are so proud of the hard work and dedication these students have shown.
