HCHS 8th grade student Jenia M wins NYC Daily News Spelling Bee
HCHS 8th grade student Jenia M. was pronounced the second champion of the annual New York Daily News Spelling Bee Tuesday!
The 13-year-old student competed back and forth with last year's champion for nearly an hour as each eighth-grader spelled one word after another correctly. Jenia clinched the trophy by correctly spelling “chorten.”
(The word is a noun meaning a monument to a distinguished Buddhist, especially a lama.)
Jenia and and the other 13 year old NYC champion will head to Washington to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee at the end of May. We wish Jenia the best!
