The school-wide Spelling Bee takes place on February 3 at 9:30 a.m. in the Media Center. Parents are welcome to attend.
The top speller from Douglas Elementary School will advance to the District Scripps Spelling Bee on February 10, 8:30 a.m. at Ligon Magnet Middle School. If your child is the District champ, he/she will represent Douglas/Wake County at the state level competition which is in Charlotte on March 5.
