Buzz Buzz - The Spelling Bee Needs a Chair
Chair. C-H-A-I-R. Chair.
The Spelling Bee is on a roll. The 2nd thru 5th grade teachers will run their class Bees before Jan 10. Then each class will send 2 finalists to the school Spelling Bee on January 24. Washington PTA follows the rules and protocol provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee. This is the same Scripps Nat’l Spelling Bee that broadcasts its final Bee on ESPN!
The Spelling Bee Chair at Washington will coordinate the details behind the scenes to allow the spelling finalists to compete fairly and determine a school champion to take the regional qualifier test. The Chair will use the Scripps login account to access all documents and instructions to run a school Spelling Bee. Contact programs@explorerspta.org to volunteer or inquire further about this Chair position.
Spirit of Giving
Washington has done it again! Thank you to our incredibly supportive and generous school community for donating toys, clothing and gift cards to the 2023 Project Unified Gift Drive. The gifts were delivered to the RBUSD office by program chair, fifth-grade parent Jessica Alidio on Thursday, December 7 and will soon be in the hands of 10 local South Bay families. Happy Holidays!

“The drums were 3 feet tall!” “The teachers got to play the drums!” The TAIKOPROJECT wowed the Washington students at the cultural assembly. What a thrill to host live performers who taught the audience about the history and significance of Taiko. Special applause to board member, Tana Everhart, for coordinating another captivating demonstration of the arts.
