On June 7th, nineteen students competed in the annual Cayuga Heights Fourth Grade Spelling Bee.  All finalists were awarded a participation trophy for proudly representing the top spellers from their classrooms. 

The runner-up was Kellan McGloin from Mrs. Jasinski’s classroom.  The champion, Brayden Skotarski, is a student from  Mrs. Worley and Mrs. Alessi’s classroom. There were many rounds of challenging words, before Brayden correctly spelled the winning word “jewels” to secure first place.  All spellers showcased poise and perseverance in this friendly competition.
