Fifth Grade Spelling Bee 

 

This week, we held the most exciting competition in the history of Anaheim Hills Spelling bees. The 4^th and 5^th grade students gathered to watch the finalists face off in the 5^th grade spelling bee.  As the bee progressed, the spellers were poised; listening, asking questions and thinking through their answers carefully.  After competing for 90 minutes in a record 53 rounds (37 of them between the two finalists) Sherry Xu narrowly beat out Farooq Ansari for the championship.  Nima Ghodsi finished in 3^rd place.  The other finalists were Derick Ma, Jessica Clement, Andrew Chang, Ahnia Khansari, Shirley Liu, Keeley Deleon, Nate Steele, Donia Olia, Alex Kinsbursky, William Wang, Aarnav Sandhu, Evan Patel and Aryana Bates.
