Belmont held its annual spelling be for students grade 4-8 just last week. Congratulations to our 2019/2020 Belmont Academy School Spelling Bee winner, fifth grader, Reagan Wright. Each year we have a spelling bee to challenge our students in their spelling academics. This is the fourth annual spelling bee. Spelling bees are a great idea to help students compete with each other, and to build some self -esteem. Also the winner of the spelling bee, Reagan will represent Belmont in the District Spelling Bee on January 24th. If you have time, try to stop by and come watch your kid or others compete in the spelling bee.
