Spelling Bees
The semifinalists from the fourth and fifth
grades were selected through a written
spelling test of words in the fall from all
the participating fourth and fifth graders.
The students then competed in the annual
spelling bee where all finalists were given
additional words to review. Grace Zatorski
represented WA at the Miami Herald Scripps
Spelling Bee.
