 Alison Tran, winner of last month's Pasadena ISD Spelling Bee, and Spencer Messick, the runner up, will be among 55 Houston area students vying for the title of Houston Spelling Bee champion on Saturday, March 26, in competition to be televised live from the Melcher Center for Public Broadcasting on the main campus at the University of Houston.
Channel 8, Houston PBS, will provide live TV coverage at 2 p.m.
Tran is a seventh-grader from Miller Intermediate. Messick is a fifth-grader from Bailey Elementary.
