Congrats to the Humble Bees for winning the 2025 Community-Wide Spelling Bee!
The winning word was “Deliquesce.”
Thank you to all of our teams, volunteers, judges (including Héctor Carvajal of Don Carvajal Café) and guests.
A shoutout to Ed & Amy Chen, our able scorekeepers…and to their Buzz Riot Apiary for the honey won by our finalists.
And special thank-yous to our Main Street School spelling bee winners and enunciator Matt Rashid. With any luck, we can solidify even more incredible spellers for next year’s Bee.
