Jeffrey participated in the Post Standard/WCNY Regional Spelling Bee on Saturday, February 4th. Jeff was one of 37 students who qualified for the final round at the regional level. To get there, Jeffrey first won our DMS Spelling Bee to become our 2012 School Champion. He then took a written spelling test in the first round of the regional competition. More than 200 students participated in this first round and only 37 students moved on to the televised oral round. The winner of the oral bee will participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee at the end of May.
Of the 37 who participated in the televised oral spelling bee, Jeffrey was one of two 5th graders, representing the youngest students who qualified. Jeffrey made it through 6 rounds in the Bee and came in 30th out of 37. Way to go, Jeffrey!!! We are very proud of you. You represented DMS and Marcellus with style!
