STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
WHYY-Billy Penn Regional South Jersey Spelling Bee
On Saturday, March 9th, Fernwood’s school spelling bee champion, 6th grader Ayush Vipin, competed against other school champions at the WHYY-Billy Penn Regional South Jersey Spelling Bee at Cinnaminson High School. He went up against the best spellers in South Jersey and lasted 18 rounds, ultimately placing second overall out of 40 schools. This is the second year in a row that the Fernwood champion made it to the final two spellers.
Some words Ayush correctly spelled were: indict, discomfiture, intuitable, virulence, fiduciary, bifurcate, and scrumptiously. Amazing job, Ayush! You made Fernwood proud!
6th Grade Pi Day Assembly
Our 6th Grade students celebrated Pi Day with their annual Pi Day assembly that has the Burgundy, Orange and Teal pods competing to be named the Pi Day Champions.
Congratulations to Zainab Khan for memorizing 216 digits of Pi!!! For her accomplishment, Zainab was crowed the Queen of Pi Day.
After competitive battles in the Frisbee contest, Pi Plate Challenge, Pi(e) eating contest, and Kahoot!, the Orange Pod accumulated the most points and was named the 2024 Pi Day Champion!
Congratulations and thank you to all students and staff that competed and celebrated Pi Day. We hope our incoming 5th graders are ready for next year!
Mock Trials
This week, the 6th grade gifted and talented classes put on seventeen mock trials in the Fernwood auditorium. Each student had the opportunity to act as an attorney of one of these cases. They prepared and presented an opening statement, direct examinations of two witnesses, cross examinations, and a closing statement. Other 6th grade classes were invited to watch and served as jurors to decide the outcomes of the cases. Each attorney did an outstanding job, while the audiences were attentive and provided some excellent insights after the trials. Great work, Fernwood!
