Ocean City Primary School Spelling Bee 2015 winner Bria Condella and second runner-up Michael Welsh with Superintendent Kathleen Taylor, School Board President Joe Clark and Primary School Principal Cathleen Smith.
The Ocean City Board of Education took time out before their monthly meeting on Wednesday to honor the winners of the third-grade spelling bee at Ocean City Primary School and to recognize the maintenance and grounds crew employees who toiled through the summer on the primary school renovation.
The board applauded winner Bria Condella, runner-up Brenden Bergman and second runner-up Michael Welsh. Each of the students is a fourth-grader at Ocean City Intermediate School. They competed in the spring as third-graders.
The board also recognized the workers who helped facilitate a major renovation of the primary school by clearing areas of the building of furniture and supplies, cleaning them after work was complete, and putting them back in place — among a host of other tasks necessary to keep the project on schedule.
Some of the honored employees are pictured below.
