🎉 Huge congratulations to Berry Shoals Elementary fifth grader Alfredo Montillo Rubio! 🎉 Alfredo finished as this year’s runner-up at the 2026 USC Upstate Regional Spelling Bee—2nd place out of 80 spellers after 10 nail-biting rounds when only Alfredo and a 7th grader from Campobello Gramling Junior High were left standing. We are so proud of his dedication and hard work! 👏📚
