The Robert A. Taft Middle School Team had one goal this year… One team, One dream, Win State. On Saturday, November 12th the team fought to make that dream a reality. It was a tough battle, uphill at times, but in the end they finished 3rd in State in the Junior Division. This is the best finish in the history of the school. It was truly a team effort, led by Team Capitan, Matthew Gerona.
Even though they took home third place, instead of first, you would have never have guessed it by the joy in their eyes and the smiles on their faces. This team, of sixteen sixth, seventh, and eighth grades spellers worked together for the past three months, pushing each other be become better, and supporting one another along the way. Congratulations!
