SUCCESS...
"To be successful is
to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

Hurricane Middle School eighth grader Claire Allison, a returning
competitor in Putnam
County Schools’ annual
Spelling Bee, has won
the competition. Claire
edged out Eastbrook
Elementary School’s
fourth grader Nathan
Polk in the ninth round
to become the county
champion. She correctly
spelled “credentials”
and then “graffiti” to
clinch the title.
Both Claire and Nathan will represent Putnam County in regional
competition in March, where they will compete for a chance to attend
the Scripps Annual Spelling Bee in Washington,
D. C., in May.
In addition to their trophies and certificates, both winners
