Monday, January 25, the Chisago Lakes Area Schools District Spelling Bee took place at the CLHS Peforming Arts Center.  It was a two hour long affair that involved 39 spellers from 5th-8th grades. The winner of the Bee was a 5th grade student from Lakeside Elementary, Weston Harris – the championship word was “ecclesiastical.” Seventh graders, Kelsey Madden and Emily Fiorella took 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.  Good luck to these 3 spellers as they move on to the Regional Spelling Bee in Sartell on Thursday, February 11.
