The annual San Cayetano Spelling Bee took place on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. As always, there was tension in the air as the dedicated spellers took their seats onstage. Participating this year were third graders Diana Santa Rosa, Liam Anderson, Presley McClain, Michael Santoyo, Nadia Palazuelos and Destiny Alvarado. The fourth grade was represented by Angel Laureano, Erika Sanchez, Aryanne Munoz and Joshua Estrada. Rounding out the school’s top spellers were fifth graders Anthony Perez, Paola Ruiz de Lara, Arturo Rodriguez and Alejandro Lanza. After 10 rounds of spelling, Erika Sanchez, top left, took the Runner-Up spot. Congratulations Erika! We are proud to announce that San Cayetano’s top speller this year is Nadia Palazuelos, top right. She will have the opportunity to represent us at the Ventura County Spelling Bee next month. Congratulations Nadia!
