2019 Team Spelling Bee
Spellers, start your engines...er, brains! The annual Lucas Spelling Bee is right around the corner, and you won't want to miss it. This is a fun way to challenge yourself and your friends in a friendly, non-intimidating competition.
The 2019 Spelling Bee will be held on Monday, April 22 (grades 3-4) and Thursday, April 25 (grades 1-2 and 5-6) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on both nights.
This is a team spelling bee, in which groups of 2-3 students will work together to spell words in both a written and oral round. Members of the winning team from each of the bees will have their names added to the plaque in the front hallway at Lucas. It’s an exciting Lucas tradition!
Please contact Mary Kenyon (mgkenyon8@yahoo.com) with any questions or for the complete rules.
