November 22, 2014 – SEANNA MUHITCH, a 2nd grader at ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC SCHOOL, won the 2014 TEXAS READING BEE CHAMPIONSHIPS COMPETITION reading at a college junior level! Seanna is a very bright, outstanding young lady, and we were proud to present her with a new Go-Kart, I-Pad, EECU savings bond, and many other grand prizes!
Represented on November 22 were the READING BEE Champs from 31 private schools/districts in North Texas, who all walked away with more-than-an-armload of prizes! These unique, one-of-a-kind competition championships are held annually on the Texas Christian University campus. The other top winners are as follows: Runner up – Alexis Boehmler, St. Andrew’s Catholic School; 3rd Place – Hannah Clower, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD; 4th Place – Gavin Gutierrez, Granbury ISD; 5th Place – Marlee Caudle, Cleburne ISD.
We are very proud of every single champ, HERO teacher/judge, and Half Price Books who prepared and contributed in their own way to make this event possible!!!! To be highly commended is our leading Reading Czar, Diana Schwartz, who recently retired from Cleburne ISD and now does consulting. Ever looking toward the future, teachers and Reading Coordinators are already preparing first graders in the metroplex to compete in this fun, free to the public, prestigious competition to be held in the fall of 2015!
