Spelling Bee

Moved to Friday, January 15th at 8:30 AM

Out of an abundance of caution for our scholars and their families, we will be hosting our first annual GHLO Spelling Bee on Friday, January 15th at 8:30 AM.

Families are invited to watch the livestream on our official Great Hearts Live Oak Facebook page.

This change will ensure an exciting assembly-like event, as 1st-7th grade scholars will watch the Spelling Bee from their classrooms. Stay tuned to find out who will be the reigning Champion Speller of 2020-21!
