SPELLING BEE
Radcliffe Creek held its first Scripp's National Spelling Bee competition this week! Inspired by a letter from York student, Ben Gilbert, the Bee was well attended with over 20 students participating! Michael Alviani was the champion, with Ben Anthony as the runner up, and Dylan Ewing as the alternate. The finalists are invited to Camden Yards to compete in the Maryland Spelling Bee on March 23.

The response to our first-ever Online Auction has been incredible! Thank you to all of the donors and bidders! BIDDING CLOSES SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT! Click here to see all of the incredible items. There is something for everyone!

All proceeds from the Auction will benefit Radcliffe Creek's Financial Aid fund, which is critical in making a Radcliffe education possible for many of our families.

ALL SCHOOL READ

Trees, the wise, old seers;
Ever standing Guardians
Of mother nature
Carrying wishes of many,
And still standing tall for all
