Heathwood Hall hosts SCISA Regional Spelling Bee

Recently, Heathwood Hall hosted the SCISA Regional Spelling Bee. Once a year SCISA holds the spelling bee competition for all independent schools within the Association. This year, Heathwood hosted 10 of the participating schools for a regional competition.

Each school is asked to bring 2 participants to the competition from each grade, grades 3-8. Representing Heathwood Hall, the two finalists were Charlotte Hughes and Grace Hancock, who will be traveling to Williamsburg academy for the state competition on February 15th.

We are very proud of all of our participants and will be rooting for Charlotte and Grace on February 15th!
