Mouthful huh??? Try spelling those words in front of a room full of people with dictionaries!
That's exactly what Service Valley Charter Academy student Matthew Wegner did at the Labette County Spelling Bee this Thursday. He correctly spelled the words omniscient and circuitous to become the Champion of the Labette County Spelling Bee.
I've attached the pronunciation and definitions for both words below. Congratulations Matt for another outstanding performance!
GOOD LUCK AT STATE COMPETITION!!
