Spelling Bee Challenge run by our Rockwell PTA
The Rockwell Spelling Competition is almost here, and we’re counting down with some fun! Join our Spelling Bee Club and try our weekly word searches—perfect for growing vocabularies.
An optional enrichment activity, words come from the 2025-2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee list to help our competitors practice their words.
Have your student complete the puzzle, jot down definitions or sentences, practice spelling out loud! Snap a pic with your student’s name and teacher, and send it to Janet at enrichment@normanrockwellpta. org. Three random participants will win a prize each week. This doesn’t need to be 100% complete — we’ll still count it to cheer on our students. There will be 4-6 puzzles in total depending on interest. Happy spelling!
