Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Anna Coleman, right, won the Kimball Spelling Bee and Andrew Hawthorne placed second. They attend Mary Lynch School.
The Kimball Spelling Bee began last Thursday with a practice round for 23 students and concluded an hour later with only two students left spelling.
In the final round, Andrew Hawthorne, a fifth-grader, drew the word "casualty." Unfortunately he misspelled it.
Anna Coleman, a seventh-grader, would have to spell "casualty" correctly and then spell the next word correctly to win the spelling bee. That is just what she did.
For the win, Anna spelled "plague."
