The event of the week for the I.M.C. staff, the specials team, and, very likely, for the students was the spelling bee. I know it was very important for the contestants, at least. After preliminary classroom and grade level bees, we had two participants from each grade at Prairieview and each grade at Lakeview. Along with six best friends from Lakeview and a tremendous number of parents as well as a few aunts, uncles, and grandparents, all of the students and teachers from Prairieview gathered in the gym on Thursday afternoon.It took over a dozen rounds to determine the winner and runner-up. Per my instructions, the audience stayed quiet except for a round of applause after each round in the bee. It is no small feat for them to sit still and quiet for so long.
In the end, fifth grader Karina Kling won. She will represent us in the regional bee. The runner-up was a third grader named Robert Gasmen. He did a wonderful job.
