UCS Claims Another Spelling Bee Championship

Unity Christian School eighth grader Wendy Bristow claimed UCS' second independent school spelling bee championship in just over two months Thursday morning when she won a competition featuring middle schoolers from UCS, Darlington School, St. Mary's School and Berry College Middle School. In addition to Wendy's first-place finish, her eighth-grade classmate, Jasmine Paxton, finished third.

On February 26, UCS third grader Abigail Sorrow won a spelling bee featuring students from UCS, Darlington, St. Mary's and Excel Christian (Cartersville). Abigail won that event despite competing against fourth and fifth graders.

Congratulations to Wendy and Jasmine, as well all the other competitors from UCS and the other schools, for their performance at this morning's spelling bee.
