EXAMPLEEXAMPLETallahassee - A Tangelo County fourth-grader won this year's annual Florida State Spelling Bee yesterday when he spelled the word paraphernalia correctly. He is the youngest student to win the contest in its 50-year history. For his effort, Larry Johnson, a ten year-old honor student as Lemonline Elementary School, was awarded a $1,000 U.S. savings bond. In addition, he will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to represent the state of Florida in the National Spelling Bee, to be held in October.

Runner-up in the contest was Tabitha Waters, an eighth-grader at Grapefruit Middle School in Baywater. Tabitha was eliminated when she misspelled ennui. She received a $500 U.S. savings bond.

The winner of the National Spelling Bee will be awarded a $20,000 college scholarship to attend a college or university of his or her choice after completing high school.

Students from 38 Florida counties took part in the three-day contest. Following the event, all 38 contestants were invited to dine at the Governor's Mansion.
