Yesterday in Washington, D.C., BHCS 8th grader Imogen Page took part in rounds 1-3 of the National Spelling Bee. She took a written test of 25 words in round 1, then took the stage to correctly spell cowardice and schadenfreude in the next 2 rounds. Despite her success onstage, she did not score high enough on the written test to move on. Imogen's success in spelling the last two years has provided our school with much excitement, as we competed vicariously through her. Thank you Imogen!
