On Thursday, May 4th, Dexter Elementary School took 3rd place in the DoDEA Americas Southeast District Spelling Bee.  Our representative competed against seven 5th Grade students from Ft. Stewart, Ft. Rucker and Ft. Benning.  She was the only 4th Grader in the district to compete at the district level.

The words she spelled correctly were: collaborate, matriarch, quadriceps, recommend, amphitheater, hieroglyphic, armoire, sycamore, submersible, equestrienne, and antagonize

Dexter Elementary would like to congratulate her on her big win!
