On Wednesday March 2, the Columbiana County Spelling Bee started with 46 semi-finalists in grades 5 through 8. After a 35 minute on-line Scripps spelling testing in which participants listened to 30 words and tried to spell as many as possible, 23 participants emerged as finalists. Eighth grader, Alliandra "Alli" Myers was one of the 23 to advance to the in-person finals. The County Spelling Bee finals will be held Wednesday, March 9th at 6:30p.m. at Lisbon David Anderson High School. Congratulations Alli and good luck!
