Wilson Nguyen won the CFISD Spelling Bee on Tuesday, January 28 at the Berry Center. This is the first time a Copeland Colt has won this level! After 23 rounds, Wilson's winning word was succès fou, a French word meaning "an extraordinarily great success", which was very appropriate, indeed. The runner-up was Rika Arun, from Woodard, and the district alternate, Aiden Marshall, comes from our neighbor, Birkes Elementary! Wilson will move on to the next round on March 22nd, when he will represent CFISD at the regional level. The top three spellers at regional will qualify for the national bee. We are so proud of you, Wilson!
