As our school-wide spelling bee champion, Nina, a Skinner North 6th grader, qualified to participate in city-wide Spelling Bee on March 10. She came in first at this grueling day long event and has qualified to compete in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.!
Words she spelled included: tithe, vivisection, palmetto, madeleine (this one made her smile, she had a madeleine for breakfast), raconteur, pacifism, contrapuntal, scherzo, furlough, ocelot, gnathonic, trepak, hermerocallis, quixote, asthmogenic, realschule, wedel, mahout, gallows, amble, eclipse, ascertain, valet,
The decider word in the 24th round was ceremonious. Nina correctly spelled her word and was offered the championship word: bombardment.
The last rounds were hotly contested between Keller, Lenart, Edison & Skinner North. Edison took second place and Lenart third.
Congratulations, Nina! We are so proud of your hard work, dedication and spelling prowess!!!
