On Friday, February 16th, Mr. Marotta (ELA 8 teacher) and the rest of the 8th grade team held the Second Annual 8th Grade Spelling Bee in the school's auditorium. Preliminary rounds of the competition were held earlier in the week and a total of 12 finalists participated (3 students from each of Mr. Marotta's 4 classes) in Friday's competition. All of the students did a great job. Alice Chan and Linecker DaSilva, correctly spelled 73 words and were declared co-champions!!!
