Each year, the Berean 3-8th grade students compete to earn spots at the ACSI District Spelling Bee in Wichita, with an opportunity to advance to the Regional Bee in Dallas. This year, ACSI decided not to hold the Regional or the National Spelling Bees. In addition, the District Spelling Bee competition will only be for 5-8 grades. While unfortunate, we are excited to have the opportunity to participate in person at the District Spelling Bee, scheduled for Friday, January 14.
The 3-8th grade class spelling bees took place in the chapel on Monday, December 6, 2021. Each speller did a great job, and we are excited to share the results! While the 3-4th grades won't attend the ACSI Spelling Bee in January, we want to congratulate them for earning the title "Top Berean Spellers" for their classes.
