Every year, thousands of students across the nation study hard to compete in their school’s spelling bee and each year hundreds of students win. This year Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District held their district-wide elementary spelling bee at the Berry Center.

Students from many elementary schools across the district, including Rennell, competed in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD's district spelling bee competition.

Metcalf Elementary school fifth grade student Khloe O’Gilvie won first place by correctly spelling the word “amenity” in the eighth round of the competition and Black Elementary school fifth grade student Taylor Artis won as the district runner up. Both O’Gilvie and Artis will compete in the Houston PBS Regional Spelling Bee that is scheduled for March 26, 2011 at the University of Houston.
