OES spelling bee champ crowned
Sixth grader spells her way to the top
Etnyre sixth grader Olivia Stafford lived up to the definition of the word she had to spell to take first place in the Oregon Elementary School's spelling bee last Friday.

"When I was standing up there I felt my heart pounding in my throat," she said. "This was my third year in the bee. I remember the words I misspelled each time before: droll and feud."
