Seventh grade Elizabeth Nisly correctly spelled "incendiary" and "malleable" after sixth grade Jason Bracy incorrectly switched the "e" and "I" on "variegated." Elizabeth's correct spellings earned her the Bluffton Middle School spelling bee crown of 2010.

She will represent Bluffton in the county spelling bee in February. Jason will be her alternate. Katie Scott, seventh grader, was third.

The bee, held Dec. 8, went 10 rounds before the final two competitors each spelled seven words correctly; then came "variegated."

On Friday at Trinity Lutheran School, Jenera, a special activity centered around the book "Charlotte's Web" was conducted.

Students in grades one through four enjoyed some "fun on the farm" activities with Mrs. Zerby and Dustin Frey, a student from Bowling Green State University.

Frey brought in live pigs for the students to observe. As a fun activity for the students to go along with the school service project, students had a "Kissing the Pig Contest."
