Grand View School

Grand View seventh grader, Daniel Bright, recently won the Eastern Oklahoma State Spelling Bee held at the Muskogee Civic Center.  As EOSSB champion, Daniel received a $500.00 cash prize, a trophy, and earned $1000.00 for Grand View School.  Daniel will go on to compete in the  Scripps National Spelling Bee. Preliminaries, quarterfinals and semifinals for the Scripps National Spelling Bee will be held virtually in the weeks leading up to finals which will be broadcast live on ESPN platforms on July 8. When Mr. Kennedy asked Daniel how he liked to see the money spent, Daniel replied, "a whole bunch of pizza".  Pictured L-R receiving the $1000.00 check for Grand View School are:  Middle School Principal Dr. Larry Ben, Bright, Spelling Bee Sponsor Olivia Salazar, and Superintendent Ed Kennedy.
