Charlotte Watts
Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School eighth grader Charlotte Watts won The Homewood City District Spelling Bee held at Hall Kent Elementary School in January.
She was one of seven students who represented their school in the contest. Charlotte clinched the championship title with the word “enumerated” after 17 rounds of competition.
“Charlotte was the most lovely young woman,” exclaimed Taryn Hooper, Coordinator of the Homewood District Spelling Bee. “We all commented on her poise and confidence after the Bee,” she said.
Other difficult words Charlotte spelled with confidence included meitnerium, Erlenmeyer flask, and scandium to name a few.
The Homewood schools that participated in the district spelling bee included Shades Cahaba Elementary, Edgewood Elementary, Hall Kent Elementary School, Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School, Islamic Academy, and Creative Montessori.
Charlotte is now scheduled to compete for the Jefferson County title in February.
