" Seventh-grader Michael Smith got a good laugh when he arrived at Carmel Middle School this morning and saw the school sign congratulating him on his spelling bee performance the day before. The twist? His first name was misspelled – and “congratulations” looked odd, too, though it appears to be a case of scrunched signboard letters rather than mangled spelling. His dad, Joe Smith, was amused enough to snap a photo and e-mail it to the Observer: “Just thought this was funny for them to honor a spelling bee winner with incorrect spelling! My son just laughed!” Michael had won the school's bee earlier; on Monday he placed third in a competition involving several schools, his dad says. A student posted the original message, which was corrected after the misspelled name was pointed out, said CMS spokeswoman Kathleen Johansen."
