We conducted our class spelling bee this week! All of the scholars worked very hard and should be proud of their participation in this event. We are proud to announce that the winners of our 2B spelling bee are Andrew and Lucia. Andrew will move on to compete in the school spelling bee with his 1st-5th grade peers. Lucia will attend as a runner up. The school spelling bee is on Wednesday, January 9th at 6pm in the MPR. All are welcome to attend this event but only the 1st place winners from each section will perform in the school spelling bee.
Please reach out to Ms. Modisett (bmodisett@archwayarete.org), Arete's Spelling Bee Coordinator, with any questions or concerns.
