WORTHINGTON The 2020 Worthington Middle School Spelling Bee was a virtual success.
In the first Zoom-based contest, hoste Wednesday afternoon, that longtime WMS bee coordinators Hollie Hibma and Paula Wolyniec have ever engineered, a pair of eighth-grade contestants finished in the top two slots.
“It’s not all about studying for the test,” said Alex Reum, the 2020 WMS Spelling Bee champion and a veteran of the school’s bees during his WMS tenure.
