• How Well Can You Spell?  It is time for our 10th Annual Spell-A-Thon!

    The St. Philip Spell-A-Thon is an annual Fundraiser that benefits the Sr. Annina Fox Fund!  

    How Spell-A-Thon Works:

    • Teachers give the students 50 spelling words that the students had earlier in the year.
    • Students have the next few weeks to review the words.
    • Students ask family and friends to sponsor them.
    • Sponsors can pledge in two ways:
    1.  Pledge an amount for each word they get correct.  
         i.e.  Donor (Dad) = Amount per a word (25¢)

    2.  Sponsors can pledge per word or offer a flat donation.
