I have been busy lately with school and many other activities. My sister just got second place at her school bee today, and she's going to district (which is just all the other campuses of her school; she goes to a charter school, which has several campuses). If she wins that, she'll go to the Salt Lake Valley Spelling Bee. Speaking of the spelling bee in the Salt Lake Valley, we almost did not have a sponsor. A few weeks ago, the valley finally got a sponsor for the Bee.
Some regional bees already have determined who they are sending to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Judging from this year's school list, they included words such as don't and bella voce. The words from the Spell It! are pretty much the same from prior years.
I am excited for this Bee Season! Good luck to everyone!
