Local students reach ‘spellebrity' status at 100th Scripps National Spelling Bee
OXON HILL, MD. (WKBN) – Two local seventh-graders worked hard to reach the 100th Scripps National Spelling Bee. Maureen Bone, of Beaver Local, and Daniela Lucia Pappalardo, of Canfield, studied for long hours to reach the spelling competition with students from around the globe. Both Maureen and Daniela misspelled their words in the first round. Maureen misspelled the word 'spodumene,' a Greek word that refers to a translucent, typically grayish white aluminosilicate mineral. Daniela got out on the word 'mässig,' a German word that is a direction in music. Even though both spellers were eliminated early, they are not beating themselves up over it. Instead, the spellers and their families are cherishing the memories. Daniela's older sister, Emelina, sacrificed a lot to be there for her sister. Emelina is a graduating Canfield senior who missed several senior activities to cheer her little sister on. 'Family is very important to me, and my sister has always supported me with my activities. She's always been there to watch my plays or my concerts or my performances, anything along those lines, and this is a very exciting opportunity,' Emelina said. Emelina will still walk at her graduation on Sunday. She will attend Ohio State University to pursue a career in immigration law. Maureen's mother, Heather Moser, was one of her loved ones in attendance for the Bee. Maureen shared that she was nervous when she was on stage. 'It was nerve-wracking more than anything,' Maureen said. Daniela studied mostly with her father, Dan, using a flashcard chart on Google Sheets. Maureen used the WordClub App to help her study by herself. Scripps developed the app as a study resource for students. Maureen will use the app to prepare for the Bee next year. 'You can do a vocabulary or spelling quiz. You could do flashcards, fill-in-the-blank, or multiple-choice questions,' she said. Both girls were able to experience several different activities over the course of the week that included a Memorial Day cookout, an escape room, a formal dance party, and a scavenger hunt at the baseball stadium of the Washington Nationals. Both girls will cherish the friendships they've made for the rest of their lives. 'I've just met a lot of amazing people who are so nice. I've made a ton of friends, people who have the same interests as me,' Maureen said. 'It's a very amazing experience and I'm grateful to have this,' Daniella said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
