Congratulations to sixth grader Shriya Naraya, our grade 3-8 spelling bee champion! Her winning word was "destitute." She will be representing Evansville Day School in the regional spelling bee in February. Hashim Khan (4th grade) finished second, and Norah Ahmed (3rd grade) finished third. We are proud of everyone who competed and worked hard.
