First Impressions, St. Mary’s Top Prelims Of Inter-Primary Spelling Bee

FISpellingBeeFirst Impressions and St. Mary’s were perfect to lead the ten schools which advanced through to the finals of the 2015 inter-primary schools’ spelling bee competition scheduled for March.

The competition, hosted by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Rotary Club of Road Town, opened on Monday evening at the Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall with 10 schools with two students putting their spelling skills on the line.

Following three rounds of spelling, the eigh other schools who will join First Impressions and St. Mary’s are Enis Adams, Robinson O’Neal Memorial, Ivan Dawson, Agape Total Life Center, Isabella Morris, Willard Wheatley, BVI Seventh Day Adventist and Ebenezer Thomas.

President of the Rotary Club of Road Town, Mr. Shan Mohamed commended the ten schools who have advanced to the finals and encouraged those schools who were knocked out of the competition to keep working on improvements.

“I am very impressed with the performance of our young students. They were very astute, asking the moderator for definitions and meaning of words before attempting to spell. The students who were on stage were also very courageous and they must be commended,” Mr. Mohamed stated.

Football – U7-A in VG this Saturday

The U7-A team (which played on Tuesday this week) will have a game in Virgin Gorda on Saturday. Coach Cas says parents can get tickets from her on Sat morning for $20 each round-trip. Please be at the dock for 8:30 so we can get sorted out. The boat leaves at 9:00am. Usually we have been able to have the match and catch the mid-day boat back. Please see Ms Atterbury if you are unsure if your child is on this team as there have been some very recent changes due to the U9 team being dissolved. Thanks.
