Bee week ? we love it!

ADVERTISEMENTS

Every year, BoardBuzz looks forward to bee week – when hundreds of students compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. And this year is no exception — especially with the snazzy commercial ABC is running (as a side note, BoardBuzz was tickled to hear the old Cameo song “Word Up” used in the promo). This year, 293 students from the United States, the Bahamas, Canada, China, Ghana, Jamaica, New Zealand and South Korea will compete to become speller extraordinaire.

Yesterday, students competed in Round One, a written exam. The score from the written exam will be combined with their stage scores from Rounds Two and Three today to determine who qualifies for the semi-finals on Thursday. ESPN will cover the preliminary rounds and semi-finals, and ABC will broadcast the final round on Thursday evening. Check out the schedule.

BoardBuzz wants to wish a heartfelt good luck to all of the students competing! Check back here later this week for an update.
