(ICOE hosts the Imperial County Spelling Bee)...It was held recently at the Imperial County Office of Education Administration Center.

59 students from 29 schools were represented in the competition. When it was all over there was just one winner. She was Madison Gray, a seventh grader at Wilson Jr. High School in El Centro. She clinched the competition by correctly spelling Sturgeon. Madison will now go on to represent Imperial County at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.
