CONGRATULATIONS to St. Croix Spelling Bee Champion Abdel Bazzar!
Cane Bay Cares congratulates Abdel Bazzar, a student at Ricardo Richards Elementary School, on winning yesterday’s 50th Territorial Spelling Bee. Abdel was one of 6 spellers representing St. Croix and after 26 rounds he spelled his way to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.
As a dedicated supporter of the annual event, Cane Bay Cares sponsored the St. Croix District’s 50th Spelling Bee, held on February 16th. This year’s donation was used to purchase
- Official Spelling Bee T-shirt for all participants (13)
- Tablets for all participants (13)
- Bluetooth speakers for 1st – 6th place winners (6)
Although Adbel was not the top speller during the district competition- his perseverance and determination awarded him the top spot at the territorial competition. Congratulations Abdel, you are the C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N!!!
