GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The area’s best and brightest spellers gathered in the auditorium of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum on Tuesday to compete in the Greater Grand Rapids Spelling Bee!
It's the first time the event was held at the museum since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual competition is an affiliate of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Watch the full Spelling Bee:
Eight regional spelling bees held in the Kent Intermediate School District each turned out two winners for a total of 16 vying to be crowned as Greater Grand Rapids' best speller.
The winner of the competition was Brady Bowers from North Rockford Middle School, with the word "quadrilateral." Brady will take part in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which begins May 30 this year.
