Congratulations to Berry Shoals Elementary School fifth grader Alfredo Montillo Rubio.
Alfredo was this year‘s runner-up, finishing second out of 80 spellers at the 2026 USC Upstate Regional Spelling Bee.
The spelling bee went through 10 rounds until only Alfredo and a seventh grader from Campobello Grambling Junior High were left standing.
We are very proud of Alfredo for all of his hard work!
