SpellPundit recently sponsored the Spandana Bay Area Spelling Bee, which was held in San Ramon, CA on March 2. The money raised from this event will be used to help poor students in India, and SpellPundit is excited to help this cause.
We are excited to announce that the top three spellers in all three categories (Senior, Intermediate, and Junior Spelling Bees) were SpellPundit students. Many students and parents at the spelling bee acknowledged that SpellPundit played an important role in their preparation for the bee.
Below are the winners from Senior, Intermediate and Junior Spelling Bees. Congratulations to them all!
