2017 Spelling Bee

In January, ANCS will host a spelling bee at the middle campus for students in 4th-8th grade. This is the starting level of the Scripps National Spelling Bee and a great opportunity to hone spelling and vocabulary knowledge. Preparation can be done on one’s own or make it a family affair! The winner of the ANCS bee will move on to compete in the APS system bee in Feb

 It will be held Thursday, Jan 19, 4:15 pm @ ANCS Middle Campus Library.

Two optional practice sessions will be held Jan 5 & 12 from 3:45-4:30 at the MC Library.

Students/parents should contact Ms. Linahan to sign up and obtain a study sheet.
