6th Grade Spelling Bee Winners
Rocky River Middle School held its 3rd annual Spelling Bee for all grade levels on December 1, 2014. Students were given spelling tests in their classes. A semi-final oral spelling test was the next step for the top spellers in each grade level. Finalists were then invited to the building Spelling Bee held on December 1. Winning for the sixth grade in the building Bee is Leanne Wattar with runner-up Hallie Speer.
Seventh and Eighth grade students competed against each other for the position of district representative in the Northeast Ohio Media Group Cuyahoga County Spelling Bee on March 7 at the Metropolitan Campus Auditorium of Cuyahoga Community College. The district winner is eighth grader Valentin Neculaescu and the runner-up is eighth grader Antoniu Ilias. Seventh grade winner is Amelia Milner and the runner–up is Kaitlyn Nock. The competition was fierce as the spellers completed the entire list of school spelling bee words as published by the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Spellers then progressed to the additional word list provided in the Spelling Bee materials.
Congratulations to all winners and participants!
