GH Grades 2-5 Compete in Spelling Bee Competitions

Over 100 students in grades 2-5 completed entry forms to compete in the Spelling Bees under the direction of SWES teacher, Ms. Janet Goldberg! All students who entered in the month of May were provided with lists of words to help them prepare for the qualifying rounds and bees. Qualifying rounds were grade-specific written spelling quizzes; the exciting bees were live in front of an audience of their peers.

Faculty judges conducted grade-level bees using the rules and grade-level spelling lists developed by the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

First, second, and third place winners for each grade level won medals and all participants were given a ribbon of participation.
