Registration Begins

On the spelling bee website (spellingbee.com), it says that school registration for the Scripps National Spelling Bee has begun. The price is higher this year, $109, unlike prior years when it was just $99. Make sure your school is enrolled before the deadline: October 17, 2011.

Since The Valley Journals started sponsoring spellers for the spelling bee, my sister's school has been enrolling since then. Her studies are going well and she is doing amazing! I do not know how she figured out bremsstrahlung so quickly, but I guess she's been reading How to Spell Like a Champ or one of my etymology dictionaries.

Good luck to all the spellers competing this year!
