 It was an excellent day for the participants and their classmates, who were both nervous and excited for the contestants. The finals were done over the course of three days. On Friday, March 8^th students from 1^st and 2^nd grade did the Spelling Bee contest in the morning and students from 5^th and 6^th did the contest after break.

On Monday, March 11^th the students from 3^rd and 4^th grade participated in the Spelling Bee contest. At the end of the day, four students remained and had to continue with the spelling bee the following day, on Tuesday March 12^th where we finally had a 1^st place winner.

It was a real success thanks to help of our two assistants, Merissa and Elizabeth, the English teachers in the school and all the other who helped make our event a fun and educational day!

And the winners are...
