Sophia Pina

On January 15th Sespe held their annual spelling bee competition. Participating 4th and 5th grade students were given an extensive list of words to study in preparation for the competition. The competition was tough as all participants made it successfully through the first 10 rounds unscathed. After 14 rounds Sophia Pina emerged as the champion by spelling the word “Rustic.” The runner-up was Leslie Ceja who will serve as an alternate at the County Spelling Bee. Congratulations to all of our participants and good luck to Sophia at the Ventura County Spelling Bee!
