I-S-I-N-G-L-A-S-S, and with the correct spelling of that word in the 24th round of competition, Angelina Sun of Mendenhall Junior High outlasted over twenty other spellers to win the Simpson County School DIstrict Spelling Bee. Hosted by Co-Lin and organized by the gifted program (FLAG) teachers in the district, the spelling bee this year featured a challenging array of words of foreign origin. *By the way, isinglass is a gelatin derived from fish – in case you were wondering!
