Spell-a-thon
Robina Baker’s Annual Spell-a-thon
We are excited to announce that our 12th Annual Spell-a-thon will take place on Thursday, April 24th! This event is a fantastic way to encourage our students to improve their reading and writing skills while raising funds for our school.
How It Works:
- Students in Grades 1-4 will be tested on 50 core words.
- Kindergarten students will be tested on letter sounds.
- Pre-K students will practice spelling their own names.
Families can sponsor students in any way that works best for them—whether it’s a flat donation or an amount per correctly spelled word (e.g., $0.25 per correct word).
