Spelling Bee
The McFee Spelling Bee is coming up soon! One representative from each 3rd through 5th-grade classroom was selected to participate. This event will take place on December 15th at 9:00 am in the McFee Cafeteria. Due to Covid 19 restrictions, only two guests will be allowed to come with each participant. The winner of our school Spelling Bee will go on to compete at the District Bee in February. Good luck to all of our Timberwolves!
