The Spelling Bee is right around the corner!

 

Colonial Christian School will again be participating in the annual FACCS Spelling Bee

competition. The preliminary round for grades 1-8 will take place on Thursday, October 3

and the preliminary round for grades 9-12 on Friday, October 4. Please see the CCS Spelling

Bee schedule included below for the specific times for each grade. Parents may attend

this preliminary round at CCS.

For the High School division, the top two spellers in each grade of the CCS competitions

will be able to represent CCS at the regional competition for their grade level. Third and

fourth place qualify as alternates. For the elementary/Middle school division, the top four

spellers in each grade qualify for the regional competition, Fifth and sixth place qualify as

alternates.

 

The Regional competitions are conducted off-campus and require participating students

to attend a field trip for the day.

 

• The High School Regional Spelling Bee will be held on Thursday, October 24, 2019

and will be hosted at Westwood Christian School

 

• The Elementary/Middle School Regional Spelling Bee will held on Friday, October

25, 2019 and will be hosted at Florida Christian School

 

Even though participation is not required for CCS students, every student is encouraged

to participate in the Spelling Bee as a fun academic exercise. The support each student

receives from his or her family and friends throughout the process is a big part of making

this event a success. By hosting this event, it is our hope that every student who participates

in the CCS Spelling Bee has the opportunity to experience the excitement of participating

in the regional competition. However, this is intended to be a low-pressure event and no

student will be asked to participate if they do not desire to participate.

 

A master word list has been provided in this email (see PDF attachment) and we highly

recommend that each student wanting to participate in the Spelling Bee study these

words during the time leading up to the competition.

Department.
