On December 17th, students from GES participated in the annual Spelling Bee. One student from each class, in grades first - fifth participated. It was a great Spelling Bee. All students that won their classroom bees did a wonderful job.
Principal, Mrs. Gordon gave a great welcome and Mrs. Hodges went over the Spelling Bee rules and guidelines.
The Spelling Bee pronouncer was Mrs. Ray. Judges for the competition were Mrs. Casteel, Mr. Jackson and Ms. Watts.

Our winners were:

First Place: Emma - 4th Grade

Second Place: Meagan - 5th Grade

Third Place: Annie - 5th Grade

All contestants and families were invited to a reception following the Spelling Bee.

Winners will compete in the county wide Spelling Bee on January 19, 2010 at 6:30pm at Goochland Middle/High School Auditorium.

Due to the heavy rains today, the GES PTA fundraiser at the Drive-In in Hadensville has been postponed until the new year in 2010.
