Two Colorado kids are competing in Washington, D.C., this week to win the 94th Scripps National Spelling Bee kicking off Tuesday. Details: Aditi Muthukumar, 12, a seventh-grade student at Hulstrom Options K-8 School in Northglenn, won the 53-round Colorado State Spelling Bee earlier this year with the word "hylozoism," the Denver Post reports. What they're saying: Aditi, an avid reader, has been preparing for the big day by "studying, eating, sleeping and repeating," she told the Post. Fun facts about Aditi: She loves to write mystery and fantasy stories in her free time, as well as ride her bike, perform Indian classical dance and play the flute.
