Vallejo fifth-graders come out on top at spelling bee – Times Herald

By Richard Bammer

This year Vallejo, not Vacaville, boasts the top and the second-best elementary spellers in Solano County.

After 11 rounds and hundreds of words, an hour after the 39th annual bee began Tuesday evening, Gabriella Pasami correctly spelled “inaugurate” when competitor Maryann Pidlaoan stumbled on “impairment.”

Both fifth-graders, they immediately became eligible to compete in the California Elementary Spelling Bee April 18 at the San Joaquin County Office of Education in Stockton, where some 100 spellers will vie for top state honors.
