On January 17, Booker T. Washington K-8 School, where Damita J. Pitts is the principal, hosted its school wide spelling bee. Fifty students in grades 2-8 competed in the spelling bee, chaired by 6th grade Reading and Language Arts teacher, Veronica Crenshaw. After a grueling 15 rounds, it came down to two 6th grade students. The winner of our school spelling bee, Dhakirah Baraka, went on to compete in the Birmingham City Schools’ District Wide Spelling Bee placing 4th.
We are very proud of her accomplishments and hope that other students will follow her example.
