Nolana Wong: Spelling Bee Champ

From Issue 5 winter 2007 Seventh grade student Nolana Wong was named I.S. 49’s new Spelling Bee Champion on December 12!!! Nolana, who is a student of the Science and Technology Academy, had to compete against finalists from the Academy of Journalism and Media Studies and the Academy of Environmental Sciences. Unlike her competitors, Nolana mastered the word “surveillance” – which proved to be the winning word!

Kelly Parker, from class 810, is the school’s runner-up. Kelly is also a student of the Science and Technology Academy.

The Spelling Bee was coordinated by Ms. Rodden, the school librarian, and Ms. Fareri, an Academic Intervention Services teacher.
