Spelling Bee Information

On Thursday, we had our classroom spelling bees for Tracks 2-4 for 1st-5th graders. I stopped in on many of the spelling bees, and I loved how the students were cheering for each other. Each classroom winner will receive the spelling bee study list on October 23rd via email. We will not provide any spelling lists before that day.

Track 1 will have their classroom spelling bees on October 17th.
