This is the week of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. Our local Bee champion, Indian Valley Middle School's Siddhesh Ganesh, spelled "ca'canny" correctly in the first round before he was eliminated in the second round of competition, ultimately tying for 167th place among 247 national competitors. We are so proud of you, Siddhesh! (photo credit: Eddinger Photography LLC)
