A big thank you to all students who took the Spelling Bee Pretest! 139 students from 3rd, 4th and 5th grades took the test and 36 of them qualified for the School Spelling Bee having gotten a perfect score or only one word wrong. Emails went out to all families of the students who took the pretest to inform them of whether their child qualified to compete in the School Spelling Bee and pretests were returned to the homeroom teachers. Congrats to all who qualified! The Farmland Spelling Bee will take place the morning of February 5th. Contact cdberk123@verizon.net with any questions.
