The 2024 Fernwood Avenue Middle School Spelling Bee was held today in the auditorium. The bee lasted an incredible 31 rounds! The final two spellers, seventh grader Sandhana Rajesh and sixth grader Ayush Vipin, went back and forth for an unbelievable 20 rounds before Ayush was ultimately declared the champion. Third place went to 6th grader Davianna Lam. Some of the words that Ayush spelled correctly included: peplos, Erlenmeyer flask, pronaos, craquelure, coccidiosis, Shaanxi, and popocatepetl. Ayush will next be representing Fernwood and EHT at the South Jersey Spelling Bee on March 9th against other school champions from throughout South Jersey. Good luck, Ayush… we’re sure you’ll do an amazing job representing Fernwood.
Congratulations to all of our competitors today on an impressive display of spelling!
