There are six schools that are a part of the Missouri Valley Regional Spelling Bee including Andes Central, Burke, Dakota Christian, Gregory, Platte-Geddes and South Central. Every year the regional spelling bee is held at a different school’s location. This year, Andes Central hosted the regional contest. On Monday February 24th, the first and second place winners from each school from grades 1st through 5th competed at Andes Central looking to see who would win in each grade division amongst these sensational spellers. Spellers that competed at the regional competition from Andes Central included Evelyn Swanson, Adrian Neault, Christiana Habben, Evyn Frederick, Sully Calandra, Heaven Never Misses A Shot, Kyvon Hart, Bradley Drappeau, Addisyn Deurmier and Isha Archambeau. Not only does each contestant have a chance to place in their grade level, but each contestant that places scores team points for their school. The school that earns the most points wins the travelling trophy for the year, with Gregory being this year’s winner
