  1. Cooper is an awesome speller, but this time the competition he’s advancing in isn’t a spelling bee. It’s the National Geographic Geography Bee.

    He is this year’s CCUSD spelling champ, but still needs to compete in the LA County Spelling Bee on March 26 to see which two top spellers will move on to the statewide spelling bee in May. Stay tuned…

  2. Sara – thanks for the clarification – I took this from another source, and did not think to fact-check the info – Cheers to Cooper on all fronts, and may he succeed in geography and spelling (he’d probably make a great fact-checker too… Maybe he’s available as an intern?)
