Spelling Bee is coming!

Quest will be participating in the Scripps Spelling Bee in January.

Study lists for this year’s Bee were sent home on Thursday, November 17. Middle School students were given an opportunity to pick-up a study list from Mrs. Fabsik. Scripps does not allow posting this list to the web, so keep this list in a safe place.

Grade Level Spelling Bees

  • Grade level bees will take place on Tuesday, January 17.
  • The Spelling Bee is “opt out”.  If you do NOT want your child participating in the Bee or your child does NOT want to participate, please indicate that on the permission form emailed to parents from Quest.
  • Students will be responsible for knowing the spelling of the words for the Grade Level Bee.
  • Two spellers from each GRADE level will move on to the All School Spelling Bee on Tuesday, January 24.
  • During the Bee, a student may ask for the definition, a sentence, or language of origin of the word. Once beginning to spell, a student can restart spelling, but may not change any letters already spoken. Judges’ decisions are final.
  • There is no make-up date.
  • More information to come.

All School Spelling Bee

  • Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
  • Students will be responsible for knowing BOTH the spellings and word meanings of the list words.
  • A study list with the words and definitions will be provided to the spellers after winning the grade level bees. The words are the same as the first list. However, additional words which are not published, will also be used.
  • During any Bee, a student may ask for the definition, a sentence, or language of origin of the word. Once beginning to spell, a student can restart spelling, but may not change any letters already spoken. Judges’ decisions are final.

Good Luck Spellers!
