We conducted our class spelling bee this week! All of the scholars worked very hard and should be proud of their participation in this event.
We are proud to announce that the winners of our 1A spelling bee are Nora and Shiloh. Nora will move on to compete in the school spelling bee with her 1st-5th grade peers. Shiloh may attend as a runner up.
