This past Thursday, February 6, 2024, we were ecstatic to bring back the school level, Scripps National Spelling Bee to Fowler. It was an event to behold.
The hive was organized, chairs and podium were in place, the coffee was hot, the 12 contestants were frantically studying in the last few minutes, and the judges had finished calibrating. All that was left was for the spelling gladiators to enter the ring and show their stuff. And show it they did! These 12 contestants, ranging from grades 4 to grade 8, had clearly prepared for battle. The students, every one of them, stepped forward and spelled their words with confidence and precision for three rounds before we had our first elimination. It was what the old timers would call a “barn burner” with the competition lasting one hour and a minute. The students were so well prepared that we were forced to switch gears and use the supplemental list provided by the powers that “bee”. As the competition got tougher and tougher, the pool of contestants was narrowed down to the final two. These final two spelling masters, went back and forth for eight additional rounds before a mistake was made. If you are unfamiliar with how a bee works, when the final two are holding their ground and one makes a mistake, the other contestant needs to spell a word correctly to claim the victory. If this contestant makes a mistake as well, they are both back in it. And, believe it or not, this very thing happened, forcing the spectators to the edge of their seats. The tension was palpable as these final two warriors battled it out for five more rounds before our second-place speller made his final mistake. Our 2024, Fowler Spelling Bee champion, 7th grade Salvatore Cerro closed the competition with the word maggot.
It was a competition that seemed just perfect for the return of such events at Fowler. A huge shout out to all 12 students who showed that hard work and dedication to a task can result in great things.
The final 12 spellers who competed on Tuesday were:
4th-grade: Laurel Brady and Katie Teague
5th-grade: Emma Sanders and Declan Bundy
6th-grade: John Kavanagh, Graham Januskiewicz, and Jack Januskiewicz
7th-grade: Audrey Flooks, Salvatore Cerro, and Calvin Houlihan
8th-grade: Andrew Stewart and Carys Cahill
The 2024 Fowler Spelling Bee Champion is Salvatore Cerro!!

SOME GREAT INFORMATION FOR CAREGIVERS
Many school districts in Massachusetts have a partnership with an organization called Massachusetts Partnership for Youth (MPY). MPY provides a wide variety of high quality resources for schools, educators, and parents. I have posted a snapshot below of what this organization is.
Recently MPY released a video series for parents to utilize at no cost. This series provides information on a wide variety of student related topics which can help caregivers in a variety of ways. Here is a direct link to MPY's Parenting Solutions Library. Also, here is the direct link to MPY's main web site. Although the main site is more for educators and school districts, there is such a rich variety of helpful information within this site.
What MPY is:
Massachusetts Partnerships for Youth, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides training, fosters collaboration, and develops programming to increase the health and safety of students. MPY is committed to bringing cutting-edge information and high quality trainings to our constituents and endeavors to provide solution-oriented, community-based, multi-disciplinary approaches to foster mental and behavioral health, social and emotional learning, trauma sensitive classrooms and building a school culture that supports anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion. MPY is governed by a Board of Directors made up of school superintendents, police and fire chiefs, and other community leaders who work closely with MPY staff.
