St. John’s held our Annual School Spelling Bee on January 26th as a part of National Lutheran Schools Week.  Nearly half of our students from grades 3 through 8, a total of 36 students, participated and everyone did an excellent job! 

Congratulations to 8th grader Nolan Roule for taking 1st place and to Luke Mobley from 5th grade for 2nd place!

St. John’s is excited for our Spelling Bee Champion, eighth grader Nolan Roule to represent St. John’s at the LaPorte County Regional Spelling Bee. The event is on March 14 at Tri-Township School (309 School Drive), in Wanatah, IN.  The event will start at 6:00 PM

The LaPorte County Regional Spelling Bee will include the school winners from each enrolled LaPorte County school. The LaPorte County Regional Spelling Bee winner will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee Championship.

The National Spelling Bee began in 1925 when nine newspapers joined together to host a spelling bee. Little did they know that almost a century later their literacy effort would reach millions of students each year. Every year, students from all walks of life have the opportunity to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program. They progress from classroom to cafeteria, from auditorium to civic center, just as millions of other students have done before them. By inspiring the exploration of words, the Scripps National Spelling Bee illuminates pathways to lifelong curiosity, celebrates academic achievement, and enriches communities.
