Each February CESA 8 coordinates Regional Spelling Bees for the top spellers throughout our 27 school districts. The top three spellers then move on to the State Badger Bee held in Madison in March sponsored by Wisconsin State Journal. The top finishers from the Badger Bee move on to represent Wisconsin in Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D. C.
Because so much is uncertain about the future of in-person events this school year, the bee program is going online. From classroom competitions all the way up to the state championship, our state's young spellers will have the opportunity to still be able to compete in this fun, enriching school tradition -- virtually. This is so exciting because whether school is virtual or in-person no one will feel left out.
Students in grades 3-8 are eligible to compete, please see your local school district to see if they are planning a District Bee in your school.
