Fourth-graders at New Visions participated in the school's annual spelling bee, featuring the top four spellers of each class.
The final three winners of the bee were Alyssa Donnelly (first place), Alexander Duffy (second place) and Brianna Rodriguez (third place). As a result of their outstanding performances, Donnelly and Duffy received a yearlong online subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica; Donnelly also received a first-place trophy and medal, while Duffy received a plaque and medal, and Rodriguez received a medal.
Donnelly will be representing the district in the Scripps Regional Spelling Bee competition at Hofstra University on Feb. 4.
