Press release from Bayport-Blue Point School District:
Feb. 24, 2021
Fifth graders at Sylvan Avenue Elementary School recently participated in the school’s annual spelling bee. Each fifth grade class first held its own internal competition and then its top three spellers were entered into the next round to compete against each of the top spellers from the other classes. This gradewide round was livestreamed from Sylvan’s cafeteria into all of the fifth grade classes, as well as to the school’s fourth graders, who participated in their own in-class spelling bees in preparation for next year.
