"The Wholly
Spellers" Take All at SpellCheck Live!!
Making their debut at "SpellCheck

charm for "The Wholly Spellers" of St. Andrew's Church,
Yardley. The team beat eleven other teams to take first
place by spelling "percutaneous" correctly.
Team members are
Matthew Rauen, Alexia Rauen and Jay
Johnston. Matthew and Alexia are students at Pennwood
Middle School. Jay is an attorney with Dechert LLP in
Philadelphia.
Congratulations and
thanks to all for making SpellCheck
Live!! a great event!
