Seventh-grader wins Voorheesville Spelling Bee

Voorheesville Spelling Bee champion(Jan. 12, 2012) Voorheesville Middle School seventh-grader Ryan Burczak has clenched the title of "Voorheesville Spelling Bee Champion." He will represent Voorheesville at the Capital Region Spelling Bee at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady on Tuesday, Feb. 7. The winner of this regional competition will compete at the National Spelling Bee held in Washington, DC.

With 41 contestants representing grades 4 through 8, the annual contest on Jan. 11 went into 18 rounds, with Ryan (pictured at right) ultimately winning the champion round. Each student contestant was the winner of their classroom spelling bee held earlier this month.

Gabriel DeFreest-Rondeau, an eighth-grader, came in second place, and Braden Racey, a seventh-grader, came in third.

The winning word was "miscellaneous."

Congratulations to Ryan and all of the students who participated!
