The annual Inyo County Spelling Bee competition will be held on Wednesday, March 20th, at Jill Kinmont Boothe Community School in Bishop. Students in grades 4-9 from all school districts in Inyo County are eligible to participate.
The Inyo County Spelling Bee competition will begin at 5:00 pm with the Elementary division for students in grades 4-6. Following the Elementary division competition, the Junior High division for grades 7-9 will compete.
The goal of the Spelling Bee is to promote literacy, create confidence and an earned sense of achievement. Students participating study words from various resources, including the dictionary and a 150-page word list with 3 levels of difficulty.
Trophies and monetary scholarships will be awarded to the first, second, and third place winners of each division, courtesy of Altrusa International. The top two 4-6th grade competitors and top two 7-9th grade spellers qualify to participate in the Elementary and Junior High State Spelling Championship competitions in May.
