Top Spellers Competed at County Spelling Championship
Top spellers from area schools competed in the Stanislaus County Elementary Spelling Championship on November 20, 2025. Sponsored by the Stanislaus County Office of Education, the Elementary Spelling Championship for children in grades 4-6 took place at the Martin G. Petersen Event Center in Modesto. Chris Dempsey from La Loma Junior High School served as the Spelling Master, and volunteers from each school site served as proctors.
The top two spellers in the Elementary Spelling Championship are Amritha Diwana from Lakewood Elementary and Audree Haro from El Vista Elementary. The champions spelled words correctly, including antecedence, facetious, and symmetrical.
Amritha and Audree will represent Stanislaus County at the state competition on April 25, 2026, at the Great Wolf Lodge, in Manteca. Alternate winner, Kabir Panchal from Agnes Baptist Elementary, will attend the state competition if Amritha or Audree cannot represent Stanislaus County.
