Joshua Kelly is Spelling Champ

Posted on 4/14/2016

GRADE three St Andrew Prep School student Joshua Kelly was a sight to behold on Friday, carrying a trophy almost as big as himself and just about as heavy.

He earned it for winning the school’s in-house spelling bee competition, beating his brother Samuel, who placed second, and Justin McKay, who placed third. The three will move on to represent the school in a final among 30 other prep and primary schools in the Ministry of Education’s regional cluster next month.
