The Grady Spelling Bee is coming up. Last year Grady Elementary became the first elementary school in Hillsborough County to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. This year we are participating again. A complete list of spelling words for the Spelling Bee is going home in backpacks November 4th or 5th. Please start spelling now because the class-specific spelling bee takes place on November 20 via written test and the school-wide spelling bee, comprised of the winners from each class, takes place in the cafeteria on December 16 at 8:30 am. Parents of the class winners are invited to attend the school-wide Spelling Bee. Class winners will receive a Spelling Bee T-shirt and a $5 Yogurtology gift card. First, Second and Third place school-wide winners will receive beautiful trophies. The first place winner will proceed to the regional Scripps Spelling Bee.
