HAMPTON — Superintendent Dr. Lois Costa and Principal Kenneth Hawkins are pleased to announce that Hampton Academy held a Spelling Bee last month.
Language Arts students from all grade levels had the opportunity to participate.
Eighth-grader Stella Finnegan was crowned as the Spelling Bee champion during the final round on Wednesday, Jan. 18. Seventh-grader Ella O’Brien took second place.
Finnegan won after spelling the final word, “doppelgänger.” The finals lasted 20 rounds.
Students participated in semi-final rounds earlier last month. The top three students from each grade level participated in the finals.
“This was such a fun event for all the students, teachers and staff involved,” Principal Hawkins. “I wish to congratulate Stella on her win and thank all the staff who helped organize this successful spelling bee.”
