Attention Spellers! We are preparing our 3rd - 5th grade students for the annual Bunker Hill School Spelling Bee! 

This year, we have changed the process and will no longer have the Classroom Spelling Bee. Instead, each child will take a written spelling test on Tuesday, October 14th. Each grade level's test will begin with words from their grade level, but will also include words from higher grade levels and some words not on the study list. Study lists will be coming this week. 

The top 12 spellers from each grade level, based on the results from the written test, will receive a spelling bee t-shirt and will compete in our School Spelling Bee to be held on Tuesday, December 2nd at 8:45 a.m. in the BHE Cafeteria. Parents are encouraged to attend! The winner and runner-up of this bee will go on to represent Bunker Hill at the District Spelling Bee. 

Questions? Contact Jill Melancon.
