The winner of the Chicago city spelling bee is Kiara Jones, a 6th grader from Caleb and Zion's elementary school! She now gets to compete at the National Spelling Bee!
Caleb is a big fan of the National Bee. We've watched Akeelah and the Bee multiple times, and Caleb even sat through the documentary Spellbound , which follows kids from their hometowns to the National Bee. He's already talking about 3rd grade, when he will be old enough to enter the school bee. Of course we think he has a great chance of winning it!
We think Ray School is awesome! Ray School is a fantastic example of why we shouldn't give up on public school education. And Kiara Jones is a great reason to be proud of Chicago's city kids!
