Congratulations to the Honey Buns!
Congratulations to the Honey Buns; the winning team at the 2018 Larchmont Spelling Bee! The Bee was held this past Sunday, April 15, and took place before a standing-room-only crowd. The Honey Buns members are Jessie Gilbert, Benita Klugman, and Madeline Gilbert. The winning word was “Cedilla”. We also want to thank all the teams who participated, our master-of-ceremonies and judges, and everyone who came out to root for their favorite team! The BEE is sponsored by the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library.
