We are bursting with pride over our Spell Bowl Team's HUGE victory last night!  They beat out 12 other teams and won the tie breaker against Westwood to earn 1st place!  SW is inspired by the members' dedication to their studies, and look forward to celebrating them at school today.  We must also applaud the team's coaches, Mr. Donnell and Mrs. Habig, for their spectacular leadership!
