The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, January 9, 2013 A-7 Student Spotlight Kyle Jones Jones accepted in Duke Health and Fitness internship Spelling Bee at Petersburg Elementary Fifth grader Andrew Clark and fourth grader Jenna Meyer spelled correctly for more than 50 rounds in the Petersburg Elementary spelling bee on Tuesday, exhausting the list of words that had been prepared for the contest. After both Clark and Meyer missed "azure," Meyer missed "sultan," putting victory within reach. Clark correctly spelled the word and won the bee by spelling "artichoke" correctly. Jaize Mills from third grade and Peyton Readle from second grade also took part in the bee—Mills took fourth place and Readle took third. Each of the four spellers made it this far by winning their class spelling bee. Clark will go to the next level, a multi-county spelling bee in Evansville, later this spring. Above (left to right): Peyton Readle, Jaize Mills, Jenna Meyer and Andrew Clark can't help but fidget a bit on stage as they wait for the bee to begin.
