Miami Lakes education board sets plans for annual spelling bee; proposes Jan. 30 date
Loading...
Summary
Committee discussed word lists, rules distribution, trophy logistics and venue availability for the Miami Lakes spelling bee and tentatively set a date of Jan. 30 (time 6:00–6:30 p.m.), with follow up to finalize details and inform principals.
The Miami Lakes Education Advisory Board spent a substantial portion of the meeting planning the annual spelling bee, reviewing the event’s word lists, rules, invitations, trophy logistics and scheduling.
Committee members discussed providing sample word lists to schools in advance (suggestions ranged from 100 to 300 words for study packets), sharing rules and procedures ahead of the contest, and giving principals both electronic and physical copies of the materials. The board also confirmed the need to return the spelling‑bee trophy and discussed whether dignitaries would be invited to appear.
Participants proposed a target date for the event in late January; after checking chamber availability they agreed tentatively on January 30 with a start time around 6:00 p.m. and the possibility of extending to 6:30 p.m. if needed.
Board members assigned staff responsibility to prepare packets, coordinate with intergovernmental personnel for school distribution, confirm chamber availability, and follow up with principals. No formal vote was required for the planning items; logistics will be finalized in subsequent meetings.
