Students at schools throughout the Diocese of Evansville participated in two separate spelling bees Feb. 17 at the Diocese of Evansville Catholic Center. In the elementary spelling bee, Henry Faraone of St. James School in Haubstadt placed first and Flannery Heuring of Sts. Peter and Paul School in Haubstadt placed second. In the middle school spelling bee, Evangeline Lampert of Holy Trinity School in Jasper placed first and Elena Faraone of St. James School in Haubstadt placed second.
“I would like to thank our Catholic school administrators who wanted to provide students an additional opportunity to come together for this occasion,” Diocese of Evansville Associate Superintendent of Schools Kari Ford said. “This is a great opportunity for our students to unite at the Catholic Center following Catholic Schools Week. Thank you to our school teachers and parents for helping prepare their students who participated in the spelling bee. They did a wonderful job!”
