W-I-N-N-E-R .... WINNER!
The Sullins Academy Fourth Annual Regional Spelling Bee was held Thursday evening, February 6, at 6:00 pm, in the library. Students from seven schools, including Sullins Academy, participated in the bee. The Pronouncer for our bee was Mr. Steve Hawkins. Our own Sydney Hill, a fourth grade student from Mrs. Jessee's class, was the winner of the bee.
This bee serves as a practice opportunity for students who are competing in the Scripps Bee in Knoxville. As our school's Spelling Bee winner, Sydney will be representing Sullins Academy in Knoxville in March.

 IMPORTANT
WEATHER NOTICE
Sullins Academy will add immediately a ONE HOUR DELAY to its other alternatives for delayed schedules. If, because of inclement weather or concern for "black ice," we announce a one hour delay, the Early Room will open at 8:30 and school will start at 9:15. The new schedule will address both the concern for safety and the concern of working parents.

Big Hearts...
Congratulations to Collin and Connor Davidson who were the first two students to raise money for
Jump Rope for Heart. Each year for his birthday, Collin asks for donations for the American Heart Association instead of gifts from his family and friends. What a great example!
Thanks to all who are raising money for our
Jump Rope for Heart event.
