My Project

Please help us to make spelling words a superb event!

The Spelling Bee Bracelets, Spelling Bee Ribbons, and Spelling Bee Medals will be given to the 3rd-grade students throughout the process of the Spelling Bee.

The books and bookmarks will be awarded to the top three finalists.

Our 3rd-grade students look forward to participating in the Spelling Bee each year. They study words from the Scripps National Spelling Bee list. Spelling Bees are known to foster literacy skills, enhance vocabulary, improve spelling and reading comprehension, and build confidence and communication skills. The opportunity to stand on the main stage and show off all their hard work is a memorable experience!
