Had an enjoyable time at this past weekend's Scripps Spelling Bee, held locally at the Rochester Elks Club. There were several Rochester grade school students that participated and we were happy to attend and support the efforts of the schools in our community. What a bunch of talented spellers! The student from my hometown of Barrington, was knocked out on the word "interrupt"-- so it was unfortunate to see him not able to move on, but he did a great job representing our town. We had GSC staff at the other bees around the state and I've heard they had a similar positive experience. Great job spellers! A few students and parents stopped by our table to ask some questions about what our college offers, so learning was in the air that day.
Here is the article in our seacoast newspaper about the Bee.
