The Bee has returned!!
Over the last several weeks, students competed during their advisory period in mini spelling bees. All students had the opportunity to participate. After the mini spelling bees, 15 students remained. Today, we held a school-wide spelling bee in the auditorium where 15 students competed against each other in front of the entire school to win the title of spelling bee champion.
The second word of the competition, hereditary, proved to be a challenge to about half of the competitors. Several rounds followed before the field was reduced to two competitors. Grade 7 student Turner Mitchell was crowned champion by correctly spelling the word "philosophy." Grade 6 student Lindsey Egersheim was the first runner up. Congratulations to Turner and Lindsey on their fantastic effort. Turner won two tickets to Canobie Lake Park while Lindsey won a $10 iTunes gift card.
