Delmar-Harvard Elementary Abuzz with Spelling Bee

Fifth-grader Caleb Perkins correctly spelled "Autumn" to win his school's spelling bee.

Taller than the other students, fifth-grader Caleb Perkins had to raise the microphone stand every time he walked to center stage.

A walk he made several times on Wednesday until he was the last person standing at the Delmar-Harvard Elementary School Spelling Bee. Β He won by correctly spelling the word 'Autumn.'

His main competitor was fourth-grader Gage McGinnis, who was sidelined after incorrectly spelling 'gentlemen.'
