Daily Bulletin November 22, 2019

Students:
 
Last week Magnolia Students competed in the Nevada County Spelling Competition. It was a nail-biter, and our 7th/8th grade team won second place for their team effort. Gina Genovese had a perfect score, and went on to compete for the individual prize and tied for third place.  The team consisted of Gina Genovese, Carlie Harwood, Duke Yeagar, Ethan Holmes, and Parker Tice-Raskin.
The 5th/6th grade team also competed and held their own, but did not place in the top three. Alana Sauvageau only missed one word, and was in the semi-finals but did not make it to the final round. Team members included Alana Sauvageau, Jaimee Allen, Randy Grant, Jack Durham, and Shelby Garten. Congratulations to all for a job well done!
