The first step to spelling bee participation is for you to register your child for the Scripps National Spelling Bee's online testing platform by visiting https://online-test.spellingbee.com.
Please record the email and password you use to set up your child's account. Your child will need both to log into their account to compete in the Spelling Bee here at school. Your child will also need earbuds or earphones to participate.
Thank You,
Rendy Godwin

World Kindness Day: November 13, 2020
In honor of World Kindness Day our counselors will be teaching lessons during activity this week about how kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and zip codes. World Kindness Day was introduced around the world in 1998. The purpose is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. This Friday SCES will celebrate World Kindness Day by wearing our favorite cardigan. The cardigan is a nod to the iconic children's television star, Fred Rogers, who was instrumental in spreading kindness.
