Hello busy bees!

Thank you all so much for joining us for the 3rd annual Tokyo Spelling Bee earlier this month - this year's competition was bigger and more exciting than ever.

We had a record number of 3rd and 4th grade students join us - 26! - and we had 16 schools represented at the Tokyo Spelling Bee, including: American School in Japan, Nishimachi, India International School, Laurus International School of Science, Victory International School, Tokyo YMCA International School, Waseda International Christian School, K International School, Kohana International School, Global Indian International School, and more!
