The SA Spelling Bee, sponsored and recognized by Scripps, has been a tradition for over 15 years and offers yet another opportunity for students to highlight special talents and to shine and experience healthy competition.
The bee encourages students to celebrate their particular skills and talents and provides another arena for practice, determination, and dedication to be recognized. The opportunity to advance to the next levels is exciting and offers students the chance to work hard toward a higher goal.
Additionally, the bee provides an opportunity for students to support their school and peers!
