On Thursday, February 23rd, students from Miss Kelly Hunt’s 5th grade Gifted and Talented class competed in the Dr. Joyanne D. Miller School’s 10th annual Spelling Bee. This year’s bee lasted 12 rounds, and the competition amongst the 78 participants was stiff! Students not only faced several rounds of spelling-specific words, but they also tackled vocabulary rounds where they had to choose the meaning of the given word. For several rounds, Jessica Rondinella, Kyra Pickart, and Sarai vanHest battled back and forth before Kyra became the Miller School champion by spelling ambitious in round 12!
Pickart will now represent the Miller School at the South Jersey Spelling Bee on March 11th at the Folsom Elementary School. She will compete against champions from schools throughout South Jersey for a chance to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.!
