Marion Elementary School students John Fox and Zora Lujan were part of the Regional Spelling Bee March 22 at the Palmyra-Macedon Performing Arts Center.

John won the Marion Bee on Feb. 5 and Zora finished second, which clinched their berth in the Regional round. They were part of a field of more than two dozen area spellers competing for the right to advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee near Washington, D.C.

Red Jacket eighth-grader Reed Laursen won the Regional title and will compete in the national event May 27-29.

Congrats to John and Zora for their great work under immense pressure! We are proud of you!
