Spelling Bee
The PTA proudly supports our annual bilingual Spelling Bee. This fun and enriching event gives students the chance to build confidence, expand their vocabulary, and celebrate bilingual learning through a friendly competition. All students are invited to take part, and efforts are made to ensure participation is easy and accessible for everyone.
How It Works:
Preliminary Rounds: Preliminary spelling bees are held during lunch recess so that every student has the opportunity to participate without missing classroom time. Each class holds its own mini-bee to determine the top 2–3 spellers who will advance to the finals.
Final Round: Finalists from each class compete for the title of grade-level Spelling Bee Champion.
Language Focus by Grade:
Younger grades spell only in Spanish.
Older grades receive a mix of Spanish and English words to increase the challenge.
To make this event a success, we’re looking for dedicated volunteers.
Here’s what we’re hoping to offer with your support:
*Organizing and supervising preliminary rounds
*Coordinating the final competition
*Pronouncing and confirming spelling words
*Preparing certificates or small prizes for participants
This program typically takes at least 2 different lunch recesses and some preparation time in creating the word lists and awards. If you're interested in volunteering or learning more, we’d love your support!
