SPELLING BEE …
• This will be a friendly round-robin "semi-sudden death" competition - three successive misspellings will eliminate you. (And then you must pick a consolation prize.)
• Each word will be pronounced, used in a sentence, then read again.
• Spellers get to choose from four word lists: (1) Commonly Misspelled Words; (2) Geography & Politics; (3) Medical & Science; and (4) Foreign Words That Are Now Common in English.
• The final winner will take home this year’s trophy.

COST: Free

WHAT TO BRING … Whatever you want to drink and potluck food to share.

KIDS … Girls who can spell (or who want to try) are very welcome to participate!
