The Spelling Bee national final was held on May 6th at the Hilton Hotel in Sofia.The 30 finalists and their teachers came to Sofia on May 5th and visited the United States Embassy and had a chance to meet representatives from different sections and to hear about their work at the embassy. The students showed their knowledge of American history and traditions and really impressed the Embassy staff during the quiz.
The National final was very competitive and everybody was impressed with the knowledge and language skills of the participants.This year the Spelling Bee Champion was Lyubomir - a seventh grader from Private Primary School Meridian 22, Sofia. This is the second time Lyubomir is a national finalist and this year his hard work and efforts paid off.
You may wonder who is the adorable young man on the other picture...This is "SUPER" Mario - the youngest participant in this year's final. He is only 10 years old and we know for sure that we will see him at the final next year.
After the end of the school year the finalists and their teachers will take part in a week-long English Language summer camp with various language and recreational activities. This our favorite part of the Spelling Bee calender and we look forward to share all amazing experience with you.
