Ulluriaq School's First Spelling Bee!

Thursday April 22nd 2010 was an exciting day--the very first bilingual Spelling Bee ever held at Ulluriaq School. The Spelling Bee Committee (Kirsten, Lesley, Luc and Manon) worked hard organizing the event and coaching students on learning their words--and other teachers participated by ensuring their students studied hard as well.

There were about thirty participants and four champions (one each for primary French and English and secondary French and English), each winning fifty dollars and an electronic dictionary. It was very exciting as the audience felt the tension when the finalists went head-to-head, spelling challenging word after challenging word.

Gary, Pascal, Mark and others also helped with the set-up and tear-down of the stage and other equipment used to make the Spelling Bee possible. Also, thanks to Kirsten and Manon for the beautiful decorations.
