    Preparations have begun for the MAGI 2018-2019 Spelling Bee! The Spelling Bee is a great way to encourage healthy academic competition while engaging students in their learning. As a registered participating school of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, students have an opportunity to advance to the city, state, and national Spelling Bees. Students who want to participate should practice at home to prepare for their class bee. Attached you will find the official Scripps guidelines, How to Study for a Spelling Bee, as well as the word lists for 1st-8th grade. Below you will find a timeline for the Spelling Bee events.
