  • Prep Students Shine at SCISA State Spelling Bee

    Posted: Feb 18, 2010

    Hilton Head Prep attended the SCISA State Spelling Bee held yesterday in lovely Kingstree, SC. Prep sent three spellers up to Kingstree: Vinny Krishna from the 5th grade, Kelli Brookshire from the 6th grade, and Cameron Halseth from the 7th grade.

    Cameron placed 9th in his grade level and Kelli placed 4th. Kelli was defeated by "gymkhana", which she had studied that very morning. She spelled it correctly except she chose to start with a "j" instead of a "g". She did a wonderful job! Vinny was perfection as usual. He spelled the following words:

    canyon
    rhythm
    pigeonhole
    fallacy
    fatuous
    ineffable
    charlatan
    bobbejaan
    cacophony
    dichotomy
    edelweiss
    aggregate
    forsythia
    springbok
    Anschluss
    waterzooi
    novillero
    chauvinism

    He went ten rounds against a little girl who had studied just as much. She had to spell "novillero" and she definitely knew it, but she misspoke at the end and said "-llera" and gasped. Vinny then spelled her word and chauvinism to take home the gold!

    The 3rd grade bee and the 5th grade bee went so well that the pronouncer ran out of words. For a frame of reference "bobbejaan" was the winning 8th grade word last year! It's from the challenge list, as are most of the words on the bottom half of Vinny's list.
