Yejide Da-Silva Came Second in Eti-Osa Spelling Bee Competition

Yejide Da- Silva of SSS 2A came second in the 2010 Spelling Bee Competition for the secondary schools in Eti-Osa.

The competition which was organized by the Obalende-Ikoyi Local Development Local
Authority in collaboration with the Local Education District III,Falomo,Ikoyi took place at the  Glover Road,Ikoyi Secretariat of the Local Authority.

About 50 students from all the schools in the local government were involved in
the competition this year.

Mr. D.O. Fagbemi,the Head of Department of Languages,who led the students to the venue of the competition reported that the school's representatives especially Da-Silva really tried their best,but for a very minor mistake that she made which dropped her from the initial first position as she was already leading the pack before the drop.

When asked Yejide remarked that she had thought the Judge pronounced the word
"reminiscent" instead of the right word "reminiscence" which he indeed called.

This is wishing our representatives better luck next time.
