SCCPSS Announces Spelling Bee Champions

SCCPSS Announces Spelling Bee Champions
Stacy Jennings

The Spelling Bee Champions from SCCPSS schools gathered on January 28 in hopes of spelling their way to the state championship Spelling Bee!  The Spelling Bee brought together the county’s top young spellers on for a thrilling competition. Forty talented students, each a winner at their respective schools, competed for the district title and the chance to advance to the regional Spelling Bee

After several intense rounds of spelling, three final spellers were knotted up for several rounds: Khelia Lattray from New Hampstead K8, Patrick Bang, from Garrison School for the Arts, and Nahyan Ahmed from Godley Station. In the final two rounds, Patrick missed a step, and it was down to Nahyan and Khelia.    Khelia emerged victorious by correctly spelling the in the final round. Nahyan earned the runner-up spot, and Patrick took bronze.  Each of the three winners received prizes, donated by local business partners.

SCCPSS commends all participants for their hard work, determination, and poise during the competition. Each student earned their place by excelling in grade-level and school-level spelling bees.

Congratulations to all three winners, who will represent SCCPSS at the regional Spelling Bee. We wish them the best of luck in the next stage of the competition!  Thanks to the Chatham Association of Educators and Savannah State University for their continued support of the Bee!
