Congratulations to Brandon, who won the First Annual Southside Spelling Bee on Tuesday afternoon, March 13th.
Southside's Runner-up was Madison, who lasted four rounds after she and Brandon outspelled four other students.
Brandon will join the winners of other Forsyth County Public Library branches at the county-wide championship spelling bee on Saturday, April 14th, at 2:30 pm in the Central Library Auditorium. The public is invited to attend that free event.
If other students between the ages of 8 and 12 are interested in competing in this bee, the following branches still have spaces available for required registration by phone or at their public service desks:
