Mountain Brook Schools
Mountain Brook Elementary student Grace Thomas is a c-h-a-m-p-i-o-n once again. For the third straight year, Grace won the Mountain Brook Schools District Spelling Bee. She correctly spelled “coercive” in the ninth round to win the bee. This year’s bee featured five students who won their individual school and recently competed for the opportunity to represent Mountain Brook at the Jefferson County Spelling Bee, which will take place later this semester. Other school winners and spelling bee participants included: Jonathan Humphreys (Brookwood Forest Elementary); Daniel Dowdle (Cherokee Bend Elementary); Brooks Averitt (Crestline Elementary); and Addy Meadows (Mountain Brook Junior High).
