Our Kids Showed Their Skills at Queens<br />
Library’s Second Annual Spelling Bee!<br />
After a great inaugural competition last year, we<br />
had even more kids join us for Queens Library’s<br />
Second Annual Spelling Bee!<br />
On April 16 at Central Library,<br />
47 finalists competed for the<br />
championship as 100 friends and family<br />
members cheered them on. These<br />
contestants had already won spelling<br />
contests at their local libraries, so they<br />
represented the best of the best.<br />
Our winners were Richard Delgado, a<br />
4th grader from the Fresh Meadows<br />
Community Library, and Rishi Shah,<br />
a 5th grader from the Bellerose<br />
Community Library!<br />
The winners received Google<br />
Chromebook laptop computers and<br />
every single participant was given<br />
their own copy of The Princeton<br />
Review’s Word Smart guide. Magdalena<br />
Rahn, who also sponsored last year’s<br />
Spelling Bee, provided all of this year’s<br />
prizes and refreshments.<br />
The Queens Library Spelling Bee gives<br />
our young people the opportunity to<br />
test their skills against each other,<br />
and connects families from all over<br />
Queens as they celebrate their kids’<br />
skills and dedication. Thank you<br />
again to Community Library Services<br />
Director Tatyana Magazinnik and<br />
our organizers, community library<br />
managers, contestants, and Magdalena<br />
Rahn for making this Bee buzz! ■<br />
