Potomac Students Excel at Annual Spelling Bee
Story by Debra Anderson
Students from schools within the Potomac Conference displayed their academic prowess at the recent conference-wide spelling bee held at Shenandoah Valley Academy in New Market, Va. A total of 14 students from seven schools participated in this challenging event.
Among the participants was Zohra Moez, a gifted fifth-grade student from C. F. Richards Christian School in Staunton, Va. With an evident passion for spelling, Moez seized the opportunity to confidently showcase her skills. Her dedication and hard work paid off as she emerged triumphant, claiming the prestigious first-place title.
Reflecting on her victory, Moez shared her enthusiasm, stating, “I like spelling bees because I love spelling! I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to see what I can achieve in this spelling competition.”
Benjamin Cristian, a third grader from Shenandoah Valley Elementary School, placed second in the event, and Jocelyn Morris, a C. F. Richards fifth grader, came in third place.
