2023 Thoreau Spelling Bee Results

The Thoreau Spelling Bee took place on February 15th.  We had 10 brave and amazing students participate.  The Bee started with words such as "awesome" and "container" and quickly moved to words such as "doppelganger, thrips and filigree".  After 23 rounds we had a winner, with the championship word being "fazenda". 

Our winner is Clara Yin (8th grade), the 1st runner up is Neel Bhaskar (7th grade), and our 2nd runner up is Jack Gilman (8th grade). 

Clara will represent Thoreau at the Fairfax County Bee in March.

Congrats to all of the spellers on a job well done!
