A Spelling Bee is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. To compete, contestants must memorize the spellings of words as written in dictionaries, and recite them accordingly.

At Sinnott, we have two spelling bee competitions each year.

• Senior Spelling Bee (Grades 3 - 6)

• Junior Spelling Bee (TK - Grade 2)

Senior Spelling Bee winners will participate in the next qualifying round for the National Spelling Bee.
