The Spelling Bee
The "Spelling Bee” – does everything have to be a competition? Apparently, yes. This year marks the 100th anniversary of The Scripps National Spelling Bee, the largest spelling bee held worldwide. Every May more than two hundred 8-15-year-olds from public schools, private schools, parochial schools, charter schools, and homeschools will converge upon Washington, D.C. to share a stage for the honor of winning some impressive cash prizes and a trophy.
