CESA #1 Regional Spelling Bee 

2019 Registration

The road to the Scripps National Spelling Bee begins each fall/winter when participating schools conduct spelling bees for students in grades 3-8 at the classroom, grade, and/or school level. Spelling champions from participating public districts, charter schools and private schools will compete in one of the five regional spelling bees facilitated by CESA #1 in mid-February. Regional spelling bee winners from CESAs across Wisconsin will advance to the Badger State Spelling Bee in March. The top three spellers from the state bee qualify for the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which is held at the end of May near Washington D.C.
