Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School Hosts Spelling Bee

Untitled_design_(9).jpg thumbnail208421
(December 2021)—When third grader Lamell Ellis spelled out the word “aerodynamic” at the recently held Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School Spelling Bee, he became the youngest person to win. Now eight years old (his birthday was November 26), he was seven when he landed first place. And the talent runs in the family. Lamell took the title away from his 13-year-old sister, Ayaanah, who had previously been named the youngest PAMES Spelling Bee winner after scoring the top spot when she was in fourth grade. She went on to win a second time, too! The talented siblings even shared the same winning word—a funny coincidence.

Lamell and Ayaanah’s parents are very happy that their son followed in their daughter’s footsteps. “It’s a very proud moment for him,” said LaToya Ellis, Lamell’s mother. LaToya supported her kids every step of the way, helping them study while her husband cheered them on. Lamell studied hard leading up to the Spelling Bee, practicing spelling out nearly 400 different words—some of which were college-level words.

A smart but shy student, Lamell has an impressive ability to spell. But the achievement didn’t come without some challenges. LaToya described how Lamell is a soft-spoken person, so he had to make sure he spoke loudly and clearly enough—through his mask—for the judges to hear him. If they misheard a letter, the word would have been considered incorrect. He also has a speech impediment, which served as another challenge. He sometimes has trouble pronouncing certain letters, but he overcame and triumphed!

Repetition was key while preparing for the event. Lamell recalled sometimes having to write out a word over and over again. “If I got a word wrong, I had to write it 10, 20, or 30 times,” he said. Even on the weekends, when Lamell would visit his grandmother’s house, the studying never stopped. He called his mother via FaceTime to continue practicing his words. Even though LaToya suggested that the studying could wait until they were home, Lamell was determined! When he couldn’t find a quiet corner to study, he sat in the upstairs bathroom and didn’t allow anyone in until he was finished, LaToya laughed. “He was determined to get through however many words he wanted to get through,” she said.

There were 38 finalists from grades three, four, and five who participated in the PAMES Spelling Bee. During the event, Lamell even intentionally sat towards the back of the room in order to be given more difficult words. He loves a good challenge! Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School is extremely proud of Lamell and all the hard work he put in to prepare. Congratulations, Lamell!
