Sponsored by local chapters of the KoC, Yelena Persaud from St Francis de Sales School in Abaco placed first in her division.
Persaud had finished behind Maya Francis from Xaviers Lower School in the 42nd Annual Catholic Archdiocese Spelling Bee Competition in Nassau. Francis also took part in the weekend bee but failed to place in her division.
District grand knight Gregory Christie said: "Our knights throughout the Bahamas are pleased to have assisted these students in their opportunity to compete in this one-day event among their peers from around the state of Florida.
“We’ve had previous winners and runners-up at this event and we’re extremely proud that our first ever entrant from Abaco was able to return this year as champion speller in her division.
