2024-2025 SPELLING BEE  
Clara Barton PTSA is proudly bringing back the Spelling Bee for the academic year 2024 – 2025 after the great success last year. Clara Barton has enrolled in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It is one of the nation’s oldest popular competitions with the purpose of helping students to improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.  
 
ENROLLMENT  
Registration is open to all students in Grades 1 through 5.  Cost is $25, which is paid online at the time of registration. Last day of registration is on 10/20/24 (Sunday). The fee covers enrollment, optional practice sessions, access to the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2024 Study List, qualifying written test, a participation certificate, and supplies. This year we have divided the practice session into two categories according to the grades to enhance their knowledge about the spellings.
