Three Dalton Students Spell Well at NYC Battle of Champions Bee

Three Dalton middle school students competed in a battle of the champions at The Scripps Spelling Bee New York City-wide final competition on March 9 and 10, 2016. Addis Adam '23, a fifth grader, showed off her spelling prowess. Another fifth grader, Alana Taylor '23, placed 14th in a field of 74 contestants. Vithya Srikumar '21, a 7th grader, had the audience on the edge of their seats until the very end of the contest. She took a very impressive third place in this highly competitive field of 74 spellers from all five boroughs.
The students competed at the magnificent ballroom at The New York Public Library on 42nd Street. Please congratulate the students for their outstanding performance and their extensive preparation for the bee.
