The Annual Spelling Bee at New America College!
How well can you spell? Every March, students at New America College compete in a school wide spelling bee to determine who is an expert with words! Spelling word lists are distributed to all classes with beginner, intermediate, and advanced vocabulary words lists. Round 1 of the competition is held in each classroom to determine the top 3 students in the class that will move on to compete in the championship. The Final Round was held on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, with stiff competition in each bracket! All finalists from each class brought their A-game while their classmates stood on the sidelines to cheer them on! Check out some of the action in the photos below!
