The contest is open to all fourth and fifth graders at the school.
On Thursday, Jan. 25, students at Harold Van Zant Elementary and their “P-R-O-U-D” families will gather for the 4th Annual Marlton Woman’s Club Spelling Bee.
The contest is open to all fourth and fifth graders at the school.
The spelling bee is a sponsored event of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs (NJSFWC) of which the Marlton Woman’s Club is a member.
There is no charge to participate in the event. The bee will begin at 7 p.m.
Students will be asked to spell a word and must repeat the word, then spell it correctly. Winners advance, while those who miss their attempt will be eliminated. Local fourth grade and fifth grade classes were furnished a list of suggested study words.
The first place winner receives a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble; the second place winner a $15 gift card and third place winner a $10 gift card. All participants receive a certificate.
