The Rotary Club will hold its 11th annual Spelling Bee on Thursday, March 3rd at 3:30 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre. Doors open at 3:00 p.m.
This year’s spellers include students from Friday Harbor Elementary School, Friday Harbor Middle School, and Paideia Classical School. All island schools were invited to participate.
The contest is open to 4th through 8th grades. All students will receive a medal in appreciation for their participation. The 1st and 2nd place winners will be awarded cash prizes for the school, class, and the speller.
Carol Linde and Carla Wright will serve as judges, and Dr. Carolyn Haugen will be the pronouncer. Steve Bowman is the emcee and ‘calmer of nerves’.
All are encouraged to attend the event and support our students as they demonstrate the spelling skills and have fun (we hope) being involved in the spirit of competition.
