The Graham Middle School Spelling Bee was scheduled for Wednesday, 1/28. With the cancellation, we have determined we will hold the Spelling Bee on the next date we have school, even if we have a delay. The spelling bee will begin approximately 30 minutes after school starts, which will allow the organizers time to prepare the participants. Families of participants are still welcome to attend if available. We do still ask that you report to the office to sign in (8am for normal day, 10am for delay).

Closed - 1/28/2026 This will be online learning day 2.
