GGUSD Names Elementary School Spelling Bee Champion

• Friday, February 21, 2020

Patton Elementary School sixth grader Landon Akins was named champion of Garden Grove Unified School District’s 33rd Annual Spelling Bee for elementary students held on February 19 at the Edgar District Meeting Center. 

Akins correctly spelled the deciding word, poignant, to become the top speller among 43 elementary schools in GGUSD. There was a three-way tie for second place among Allen Elementary sixth grader Kory Lim, Barker Elementary fifth grader Zack Nguyen, and Peters Elementary sixth grader Jessica Truong.   

GGUSD Board of Education Trustee Lan Nguyen presented trophies to the first and second place winners.

“It is always a joy to see our young scholars come prepared for a rigorous spelling competition after months of study and practice,” said Nguyen.  “The Spelling Bee competition shows students what is possible through hard work and dedication.”
