Fifth grade students from El Morro and Top of the World Elementary Schools competed in the annual Laguna Beach Elementary Spelling Bee Finals earlier this month.
Lyric Hagen won the championship, with Max Reimers taking the second-place trophy home. Both attend TOW.
Contestants were selected from earlier elimination rounds in which 12 finalists emerged from each school. Tom Fay served as the emcee, with Superintendent Jason Viloria and PTA leader Kathleen Fay acting as judges.
The students and their families enjoyed ice cream sundaes together after the event.
