Student Recognition January 17, 2012

Each year we participate in the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s spelling bee. Grade 5 and 6 students have an opportunity to participate in their language arts classes. We then hold our final school wide bee in the cafeteria to select a building representative to the Chester County Bee which will be February 7^th.

Last week we had 33 outstanding spellers compete in what turned out to be one of our most competitive bees in AGIS history. In the 20^th round we were able to declare Olivia Kunitsky our school champion and Ty Phillips our runner up! Olivia is a 5^th grader in Mrs. Crist’s homeroom and Mrs. DiDomenico’s language arts class. Ty is in Mrs. Waldman’s 6^th grade class. What a fine job all or our participants did and we look forward to hearing how Olivia does at the county wide bee!
