SWSD Schools Host Spelling Bee Competitions

South Whittier School District elementary schools held their Spelling Bee competitions throughout the month of January to select their Spelling Bee champion that will represent their school in the District’s Annual Spelling Bee.

 

Each school held a school Spelling Bee with their top spellers from each fourth through sixth grade classes. Their Spelling Bee consisted of judges, an audience, and multiple rounds of rigorous words. Like other Spelling Bee contests, students were given their chance to spelling the word they were assigned with opportunities for the judges to repeat the word, ask for a definition, or use the word in a sentence. After multiple rounds, schools determined their top speller.

 

The top spellers from each elementary school will come together to compete in the District Spelling Bee that will take place on Thursday, January 23, at Loma Vista Elementary. This event will determine one final South Whittier School District Spelling Bee champion. The District Spelling Bee winner will then move on to represent the District in the county Spelling Bee.
