This year’s JPA Spelling Bee winners were Nita ’29 in the lower elementary competition and Sunpeng ’26 in the upper elementary competition.

Sunpeng, Grade 5, said, “I felt prepared as I had studied hard for many weeks, at least 20 minutes a day. During the final I could hear my class cheering me on every time I stood at the microphone and their support gave me confidence. I was excited and proud of my performance particularly as my final opponent, Vichheka ’23, was such a tough competitor. I am already looking forward to taking part again, next year.”

Nita, Grade 2, said, “I am so happy that I won. I practiced for an hour every night with my father, even during the holidays.”

Congratulations to Sunpeng and Nita.
