After correctly spelling the word “tyrannical,” fourth grader Neev Shaw from Pomona Elementary defended his title and took home the first-place trophy for the Alvin ISD Spelling Bee! Neev was the last student standing after 17 tough rounds of competition against other elementary and Jr. High spellers from across the District. The runner up was fourth grader Veeksha Sai Dasika of York Elementary. We wish Neev luck in the next round of competition in the Houston Public Media Spelling Bee to be held on February 29, 2020.
