What's The Buzz?

Photographs may be enlarged.

Westwood was abuzz with excitement Friday morning for some anxious third graders, their teachers, and their families. Twenty two stellar spellers made it past the written round to the oral Bee where words like hearth, layette, opera, wigwam, bonanza, and mermaid came flying their way. The annual Bee went 12 rounds before runner-up Sarah Hall was stung by the word course and left the door opened for Tom Hermes to earn the crown. His final word, minute, was no match for this year's Spelling Bee champ. We congratulate our courageous competitors and wish Tom the best as he competes against students in grades two through eight in the Galveston County Bee next month.
