Thirteen classroom champion spellers from grades 4 through 8 took the stage on Thursday to compete in the 2016 Oak Bluffs School Spelling Bee. By round 10, the field of spellers had been reduced to just four spellers who challenged each other through the next six rounds until just Hannah Murphy (5th grade) and Alex Turner (4th grade) remained in the competition.
In the end, pathogen tripped up Hannah, who also competed last year and Alex correctly spelled territory to move her to the championship round. Alex then tackled the word cylindrical to take this year's spelling bee championship.
The fourth grade class will support Alex at the Island-Wide Spelling Bee Friday, March 25 at the MVRHS Performing Arts Center.
Congratulations to all of this year's spellers: Lily Tewhey, Ruby Eliot, Asaph and Jehoshphat Nunes, Jack deBettencourt, Alex Turner, Joey Cywinski, Hannah Murphy, Becket Wadleigh, Riley and Luke Yuhas, Klara Reiman and Jared Regan!
