Universal Academy of Pittsburgh is enrolled through the Scripps National Spelling Bee website: spellingbee.com. During the first few weeks of school, homeroom teachers will be sending home the word lists for each student by grade (grades 1-6) so that all students have ample time to study.
**Please note that based on the rules of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, we are not allowed to post the word lists online. They will be sent in paper copy to each student by their homeroom teacher, and you may also request an emailed version. Please email me directly at [email protected] if you need another copy.
Classroom Spelling Bees (by grade):
Date: Week of Dec. 14-18, 2015
Information: Each class (grades 1-6) will hold a classroom spelling bee for their grade only. Each grade will have 2 winners that will then move on to the School Spelling Bee in February and compete against the winners from other grades.
Winners:
1st Grade- Aasiya and Johny
2nd Grade- Husniya and Othman
3rd Grade- Khadicha and Ian

School Spelling Bee:
Date: Fri., Feb. 12, 2016
Information: The 10 classroom spelling bee winners will compete against each other for the honor of becoming the UAP School Champion. The winner and runner-up will each receive a prize from the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The winner will then move on to compete in the Western Pa. Spelling Bee at Robert Morris University's Charles L. Sewall Center (6001 University Blvd., Moon Township, PA 15108). This is the final area spelling bee for Western Pennsylvania.
**According to the rules of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the person to represent our school must be in grades 4-8. In the case that our School Champion is in a lower grade (as happened in the 2013-2014 Spelling Bee, when we had a 2nd grade champion!), that student will still receive the prize, but the runner-up will take their place representing our school.
Western Pa. Spelling Bee:
Date: Sat., Mar. 12, 2016
Information: The UAP School Champion will represent our school in the Western Pa. Spelling Bee at Robert Morris University's Charles L. Sewall Center (6001 University Blvd., Moon Township, PA 15108). If they perform at a very high level, they may be invited to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC!
