Spelling Bee 2024

The Spelling Bee is a series of competitions for students in grades 5-8 beginning at the classroom level and progressing on to district, region, state and national levels.  Benefits for students include improved spelling, increased vocabulary, learning concepts, developing correct English usage, developing poise in public performance and community recognition for participation.

​

Northwest Service Cooperative of Thief River Falls, sponsored the Regional Spelling Bee which was held on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at Northland College in Thief River Falls.  Advancing from local and district competitions, 31 winning spellers from 26 school districts in Region 1 & 2 participated in the Regional Bee.  All spellers participated in a written round in the morning with the top 15 spellers advancing to an oral round in the afternoon.

​

The champion of the NWSC region advanced to the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D. C. in May. This was new in 2024, whereas in the past, the top four from our region have participated in a multiregional spelling bee in Fergus Falls where the winner advanced to the National Spelling Bee.
