Spelling Bee Success
This year was the first time that Montessori of Maui held our own school spelling bee for students in grades 6 through 8. Every year participating schools send their top two spellers on to compete in the Maui District Spelling Bee, which was held this year at Iao Intermediate School on February 15th. Taylor Neuhoff and Coleby Hanisch were our representatives at the district bee. Both students survived several rounds of challenging words, and Coleby eventually took the gold! Colbey's first place finish enables him to travel to Oahu to represent Maui County in the Hawaii State Spelling Bee, which will take place on March 11th.
