TUPELO ⢠Mason Cordell, a seventh grader at Tupelo Middle School, won the Tupelo Public School District/Lee County Spelling Bee on Thursday afternoon.
Cordellâs winning word was âarcane,â defined as something âknown or knowable only to a few people,â which seems fitting.
Eleven participants sat socially distanced on the stage of the TMS Civic Auditorium with face masks as the bee started. Each child was allowed to pull their mask down as they approached the microphone so that the judges could hear them clearly as they spelled.
The event typically includes Lee County School District students, but the district chose not to take part in the countywide spelling bee this year. As a result, Cordell will go on to represent the district and county in the state spelling bee this spring.
