Congratulations to Beaver Local 8th grader Shaylynn Dennis who made it to the Semifinals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, finishing tied for 22nd place! She correctly spelled "pruitus," "compathy," "minometer," and "emanation" before misspelling "incretory" in the 6th round. What a great accomplishment!
