2009 Spelling Bee Champ

Oh, to spell like Kavya Shivashankar, the winner of the 2009 Scripps National Spelling Bee! This year's final was a real nail-biter and one of the longest finals ever: almost 2 hours. Kavya is an eighth grader from Olathe, Kansas and her winning word was L-a-o-d-i-c-e-a-n. To learn more about the spelling bee, visit the website by clicking here.
