Congratulations to the winner of the CES Spelling Bee: 4th-grader Delaney Ames, pictured here with her parents, Elizabeth and Trevor! Delaney correctly spelled the word "bracken" (a type of large fern, in case you were wondering) in the 11th round for the win. Next, she'll compete online for a spot in the ABJ Regional Spelling Bee next month. Good luck, Delaney!
