It's Spelling Bee week at Mary Munford School and at thousands of other schools all over the United States.

Each class at Mary Munford will have one
of its best spellers to compete on
Thursday morning, February 1st, at 9:30 AM
in the auditorium to determine the school spelling champion.
Be sure to root for your classmates or friends in the bee...
and if they make a mistake, cheer for them anyway!
Just getting to the schoolwide bee is an honor--
everyone there is a winner already!

Why do they call it a spelling "bee"? Here's one explanation

Spelling bee winners will keep competing until the national spelling bee in Washington, D.C. in June, 2001.

National Spelling Bee in previous years..

Here's the National Spelling Bee  web site
It includes history of the national bee, shows the hard spelling words that made each year's winner a national champion since 1925.

There's even an Audiopedia that speaks out practice words
for you to spell, if you have RealAudio software on your computer.
