It was an exciting morning at Hill as fifth-grade students participated in the annual Spelling Bee, showcasing strong vocabulary skills, confidence and poise in front of peers, staff and families.

After a competitive round, Theo Slater earned first place, with Sophia Rocktaschel finishing as runner-up. Both students demonstrated impressive preparation and composure throughout the event.

Thank you to the staff who helped organize and support the Spelling Bee, as well as the families who came out to cheer on the participants. Your support helped make the event a meaningful success.

Congratulations to all fifth-grade participants for their hard work and effort — this year’s Spelling Bee was a wonderful celebration of learning at Hill.
