A Valencia Elementary 6th grader has won the District Spelling Bee! M.G. was among ten enthusiastic elementary students from across Los Lunas Schools who competed in this year's spelling bee. Teachers, parents, and other family members filled the Los Lunas High School auditorium, cheering them on as each student took turns spelling words, demonstrating their hard work and dedication.
