MANSFIELD – The 2025 Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center spelling bee season concluded with resounding success, showcasing the exceptional spelling talents of students across Crawford, Morrow and Richland counties on Thursday, February 13th at Mid-Ohio ESC in Mansfield, Ohio.
An impressive group of 26 of the top spellers were invited to compete to be the Tri-County Spelling Bee Champion. The competition included spellers from 13 local school districts in grades 4-8.
