Our 11th Annual Spelling Bee is rapidly approaching. All classrooms, grades 3rd through 5th, are now conducting their classroom ‘bees’ to determine their top 3 spellers. Qualifying spellers will advance to our final school competition.

Our school Spelling Bee will be held on Thursday, February 23rd in the Multiuse Room. The competition schedule times are as follows:

3rd Graders: 4:00 – 4:30 p.m.
4th Graders: 4:30 – 5:00 p.m.

The final competition, to determine the Bryant Ranch 2012 Spelling Champion from the top 4 finishers from each of grades 3rd through 5th, will be at 6 p.m. Our school champion will advance to the Southern California Spelling Bee Championship in Long Beach.
