The Lincoln County Spelling Bee will be
staged this year on Feb. 22 at the Lincoln County High School
auditorium in Eureka. The event for students in grades 5-8 begins
at 1 p.m.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee
organization implemented a registration fee for all Montana schools
wishing to compete at the national level. Practice words are
available to any student whether they are from a registered school
or not at www.myspellit.com.
Students can also find a “My Spell It”
test link on the Scripps website where spellers can be quizzed on
randomly-selected words.
Public, private and home schools will
be holding local contests to choose their representatives to the
county bee.
The winner of the county bee will move
on to the state bee in Billings on March 26.
For more information on the county bee,
call Ron Higgins, Lincoln County superintendent of schools and
county bee director, at 293-7781, ext. 249.
