2023 NMS Spelling Bee
The North Middle School English Department hosted the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee school-wide competition on Thursday, January 12, 2023. Forty-three 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students participated in the event.
Mr. Michael Norberto served as the official pronouncer, while Mr. Dan Del Ferraro, Ms. Trina Rice, Ms. Alexandea Feehan, and Ms. Victoria Andreacchi acted as our judges. Ms. Ann Wang and Ms. Kirsten Roche assisted and supervised the participants on stage.
10 rounds and over 230 words later, the Spelling Bee slowly weaned down to two students: Lila Halpert, 7th grade, and Brian Liu, 6th grade. After several rounds of head to head competition, Brian triumphed as the winner spelling the championship word: marauding.
Brian will go on to represent North Middle at the Scripps National Spelling Bee Regional Competition.
We are very proud of all of our participants and wish Brian the best of luck at the regional level!
