Our top four spellers will move on to the regional online competition in January!
Fantastic job, Atoms!

Thursday, December 7th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School Atoms competed in the annual 3rd Grade Spelling Bee!

Some words that stumped our competitors were Oddity, Yesterday, and Bronze. The competition was won on the word Sewing!
Everyone tried their best, and we are proud of all our competitors! The top three spellers were awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons!
Way to go, Atoms!
