On Tuesday, February 15th, students from St. Joan of Arc, St. Joseph, St. Peter, St. Athanasius, and Pope John XXIII Schools competed in the Knights of Columbus Spelling Bee held at St. Joan of Arc School. It was a very exciting and tense spelling bee with some very competent spellers from fifth to eighth grade. There were over thirty representatives from this region. The number of representatives from each school was determined by the school’s enrollment. Pope John was represented by nine winners of their in-school spelling bee.
By round 4 many students had dropped out but there were still five students competing from Pope John XXIII - Caroline, Rob, Uma, Brendan, and Henry. Only five students in total remained to compete in round 5 - four of those students were from Pope John XXIII. From round 6 to the final round 15 it was all Pope John XXIII School students. Brendan Scheib-Feeley, a fifth grader took fourth place. Caroline Granner, a seventh grader earned a third place. Uma Venkata won a second place award and Rob Colgate won first place by spelling correctly the two final words: crepuscular and aquiline. These two top spellers will represent Pope John XXIII at the Sectional Spelling Bee to be held in Glenview. Good luck to both of them!
