Spelling Bee

We are so excited for our 10th Annual Centennial Spelling Bee!

Important Dates:

• Written Spelling Test: Week of Jan. 20th
• Centennial Oral Spelling Bee: Feb. 7th
• District/Regional Oral Spelling Bee: Feb. 19th, 3:30PM

We are enrolled in the spelling bee! Interested kids will still take the 25 word spelling test during the week of January 20th, and the top 25-30 students on that test will advance to our 10th Annual Centennial Spelling Bee, to be held on February 7th. The top 10  winners of the Centennial oral spelling bee will then be invited to our Regional District 6 Spelling Bee, to be held at Centennial on Feb. 19th at 3:30.

Most of the work for the bee will need to be done by students on their own time. There are suggested lists for studying. I would suggest studying the Spelling Bee Practice Lists 1 (below) first,  and then move up to Spelling Bee Practice Lists 2 (below) after mastering List 1. These lists are a good start for studying.
