NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Titans hosted 51 students from schools across the state Saturday at Nissan Stadium for the Scripps Regional Spelling Bee.
Jupiter, a student at Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga, was named regional champion.
As part of the prize, the Titans — through their ONE Community platform — will send Jupiter to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Marian, a student at Woodland Middle School, finished second and also earned a trip to the national competition, courtesy of the Titans.
More than 50,000 students from 387 schools participated in local spelling bees across Tennessee before advancing to the regional competition.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee is scheduled for May 26–28 at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
