PJMS: Spelling Bee

On February 5th, 15 of Port Jervis Middle School's top spellers competed in the annual PJMS Spelling Bee. The winners, and their winning words, were:

  • 6th grade: Mei Bianco - nomad
  • 7th grade: Lilianna Perez - whittled
  • 8th grade: Sofia Muratovic - dictatorship

Sofia and Lilianna now advance to the Orange-Ulster BOCES Regional Spelling Bee in March. The winner of that bee earns an opportunity to be a part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May, in Washington, DC.

Congratulations to the winners and all of the students who participated!
