Spelling Bee Results 2023
Congratulations to all grade level Spelling Bee participants! Our TWCA Spelling Bees took place on March 22nd and were a huge success. Each grade level sent their top 6-7 spellers, and all our students’ hard work paid off! Each student received an ACSI certificate as a keepsake, and the top 4 spellers received a 1st-4th place ribbon. The top 3 spellers in 5th-8th grade advanced to the Spell Off on April 12th to determine the overall top 5 places for our school.
We are so proud of all our 1st-8th graders who competed! There was incredibly stiff competition with each grade level going from 7-28 rounds including several tie breakers to determine our final winners. All of our students did an amazing job!
