📚 Veronica showed major growth, improving her placement from last year and tying for 2nd place this year! Way to level up through hard work and determination! 💪✨

🏆📚 Aisonna came prepared and proved it — she is the 2026 BSSD Spelling Bee Champion!!! 👑🎉

🔥 Fun (and proud!) fact:
Aisonna’s win marks the 5th Shishmaref championship in the past 7 years! Talk about a tradition of excellence! 💜💚
