HOW DO YOU SPELL SUCCESS…J A C K S O N
Posted on by Phil Jamison

We all need to celebrate a local kid who spelled his way to a spot in the National Spelling Bee. Jackson Parker, an eighth-grade student at Paragould Jr. High, won the State Spelling Bee this past Saturday and will now represent Arkansas at the National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. on May 24th through the 29th. The National Spelling is broadcast on television and will be a moment for Jackson Parker, Paragould Jr. High School, and the Arkansas educational system to shine. Thanks for making us proud and good luck Jackson from Jonesboro Radio Group and Mix 106.3.
