Paris Junior High student wins Lamar County Spelling Bee

Paris Junior High, Arjan Khadka, spelled his way to the top at the Lamar County Spelling Bee on February 8. 

Arjan Khadka, an eighth-grade student at Paris Junior High, took first place at the Lamar County Spelling Bee and will represent Lamar County at the 65th annual Dallas Regional Spelling Bee on March 11, 2023. “I’ve been working for this trophy for four years,’ Khadka said. Winnie Besteman, from Excel Christian Academy, took second place.  She is the alternate if Khadka cannot make it to the Dallas regional bee for whatever reason. 

After winning their campus bees in January, sixteen students competed from North Lamar ISD, Paris ISD, and Excel Christian Academy.  

“Arjan is not only intelligent but is willing to work for it,” expressed Eva Dickey, Paris Junior High spelling bee coordinator. “He studies hard, and Paris Junior High could not be more proud to have him represent us in the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee.”

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.
