Today at Dunlap Middle School the students, staff and teachers held a special assembly.

Instead of dignitaries and others speaking... the teachers participated in a spelling bee... with Kyle as the judge.

Kyle will start Dunlap High School this fall.

He says he's looking forward to not having to prepare for the spelling bee.
We'll hear more form Kyle coming up tonight at six.

This is news because when you can celebrate something positive that is going on with our youth (especially in the Peoria area) we should want to read or watch something like this. It's a BIG deal to win 4th place in a national spelling bee. If this was a local sports team coming home from a 4th place national win, no one would think twice about it being newsworthy to report their "celebration"!! I'd love to see more academic accomplishments reported.
