Congratulations To 2019 Forsyth Spelling Bee Winners

FORSYTH COUNTY, GA – The Forsyth County Schools held their annual spelling bee where 31 students, one school winner from each elementary and middle school, competed for the opportunity to advance to the region competition.

After three hours and 21 rounds of competition, Aadhav Thaniga, a fifth grader from Midway ES, was named the champion by correctly spelling "Holi." Aadhav, along with the three other top winners, will represent FCS at the region spelling bee in February.

Congratulations to all winners and participants on a wonderful job at the 2019 spelling bee!
