Could you spell the words “vociferous, psychometry, or klystron?” These are a few of the words our spellers were challenged with. Thirty-three spellers competed on January 28th at the annual Pierrepont School Spelling Bee and after 36 hard-fought rounds, we crowned a new champion: Madhavi Pandarthil a fifth-grader from Mrs. Viola and Mrs. Frazier’s homeroom. The spelling bee lasted 3 hours, 20 minutes and over 250 words were spelled in front of an audience of family, friends, and Pierrepont School staff. The top 3 finishers are: 3rd place – Maks Tarasewicz (Johansen) grade 5, 2nd place – Saachi Shah (Zak) grade 5 and once again 1st place – Madhavi Pandarthil (Viola/Frazier) , grade 5 on the word “viand”. Congratulations to all our winners and participants!
