Several middle schools compete inSAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -
Middle schools students competed
against several schools Thursday in a spelling bee.
The Deanery spelling
bee includes St. Francis Cabrini, St. Francis Xavier, St. James, St. Peter the Apostle,
Blessed Sacrament and Notre Dame. Students have been preparing for the
competition for quite some time. One student said she wouldn't have made it
without some helpful support.
Bernadette Ebri, an eighth-grader at
St. Frances Xavier, said her parents got her this far and her classmates
cheered her on.
"Well, I'm impressed by the
courage of all the students. It's hard to get up in front of a group of your
peers, along with adults, and have to remember how to spell words. They've all
worked very hard in preparing for this, so we're very proud of all of these
young people," Mary Anne Butler, principal at St. Peter the Apostle.
The spelling bee is part
of Catholic Schools Week, which runs until Friday.
