Third Grade Spelling Bee A Success
"Patience". That was the word third grader Erik Nguyen spelled to win this year's third grade spelling bee. Totyana Simien took home a second place finish. Top prize won $10 and second place won $5. All of the students did a great job! In fact, they all did so well, words had to be called out from lists they had not seen before. We had great support from parents and look forward to our next spelling bee. photos
