FOURTH INTERSCHOOL SPELLING BEE CONTEST AT SEK LOS VALLES
The Spelling Bee is a competition that aims to increase the students’ confidence in the spelling of words. Another important advantage of having this event, is that all the students that participate have an enjoyable experience that it will be kept in their minds forever.
In order to accomplish the contest, the English Department of Primary at SEK Los Valles organizes the Annual Interschool Spelling Bee Contest. This year, nine schools were invited to be part of this magnificent event that took place on Thursday, May 19th. The schools were: Unidad Educativa Hontanar, Centro Educativo Isaac Newton, Unidad Educativa Letort, Intisana, APCH Unidad Educativa Angel Polibio Chaves, Colegio Spellman, Colegio Rudolf Steiner, SEK Ecuador International School, and SEK Los Valles International School.
This competition was divided into four categories where students from fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grade competed against one another to represent their schools. These kind of events bring excitement, nervousness, and anxiousness among the competitors and the people involved. Parents, teachers and classmates gathered together in the auditorium to cheer up the contestants.
The sky is the limit for our SEK LOS VALLES’ students who were crowned champs after besting other spellers from the invited schools. The winners in the different categories were: Francisco Albuja, first place of the First Category, Santiago Zborón obtained the fourth place in the Second Category, Paula Bastidas won first place in the Third Category and Juan José Silva got the first place in the Fourth Category. Our students made us proud due to their outstanding performance and commitment while they were studying, preparing, and participating in this Bee Contest.
We are sure that what the participants did and felt during the Bee Contest was incredible because standing in front of an audience and showing their spelling skills is not an easy task to do.
We appreciate and thank the support given by our School head, sponsors, judges, and the English Department who made this event possible.
Congratulations to all!
