Scripps Regional Spelling Bee Contestants James Hamilton, Grade 4 Emily Sarria, Grade 2 The 2017 Regional Scripps Spelling Bee was held at The Benjamin School on February 22, 2017. Wellington Prep school winner, James Hamilton, and runner-up, Emily Sarria, represented Wellington Prep at this event and did fantastic! Each student took a 25 word written test and then went on stage to spell one word in front of the audience. With 127 contestants, as the youngest, #1 Emily spelled “shampoo” correctly and #31 James spelled “geode” correctly. They did not advance into the final round, but as our First ever Scripps participants, Wellington Prep is extremely proud of their hard word and dedication! |
