During spring break, 5th Grader Annabelle P. competed in the City Bee against the top 30 spellers, ranging from 4th to 8th Grades, from around the District. Annabelle tied for 6th place! Annabelle and 6th Grader Ella D. also participated in a Grades 4-6 Spelling Bee in late April at the Mid-Atlantic Episcopal School Association (MAESA) Scholars' Fair. Ella won first place in the competition, spelling celerity, reservoir, indelible, hexagonal, and winning with the word minotaur. Annabelle tied for second place after spelling words like alien, vociferous, supercilious, and proboscis.
