Isabella Baez-Giangreco, a 10-year-old JP resident who goes to the Manning School, took third place in the Boston Center for Youth and Families City-wide Spelling Bee on Saturday. She was the youngest of the top three finishers, as two spellers from West Roxbury — 13-year-old Christy Jeston and 12-year-old Emily Sun — took first and second place respectively.
