Woodstock MS Student Claims Title as Countys Top Speller

Seventh grade Woodstock Middle School student Lydia Lord correctly spelled endocrinologist and then incorrigible to win the 2018 Cherokee County School District Spelling Bee. Thirty-one CCSD students put their spelling skills to the test in the Georgia Association of Educators and Cherokee County Association of Educators annual competition, which went a record 47 rounds over three hours before a winner was decided. Braden Flournoy, a seventh grader at Freedom MS, won second place, and Sharon Pradeep, a sixth-grade student at Mill Creek MS, came in third.

It was a repeat performance for all three students, as Sharon, Braden, and Lydia made up the three finalists in 2017, with Sharon in first last year, Braden in second, and Lydia in third. Students in grades 4-8 are eligible for the Bee.

More than 200 words were attempted during the event including tricky terms like apparatchik, coati, prevaricate, desideratum and uncoquettish. The three finalists went through fifteen rounds of words together, and Braden and Lydia battled another nineteen rounds before the competition was decided. All three finalists could be back for a third year in 2019, as they will all be eligible to spell again.
