SUMMARY:Alabama Homeschool Spelling Bee
DESCRIPTION:Homeschool Alabama has registered with Scripps organization so homeschoolers in Alabama from grades K-8 will have a way to participate in the national spelling bee. The winner of this state homeschool spelling bee will move on to the Alabama state spelling bee in Birmingham in March. A student must be registered through a school or organization that is enrolled with Scripps. \nThe Scripps organization made a few changes this year. The main one that affects us is that there is no longer an online testing option\, so there will be no preliminary bee this year. All students who register with Homeschool Alabama will participate in the in-person bee in Birmingham. \nPlease be aware that the target audience for the spelling bee is grades 4-8; there is no minimum grade for participation in the program. All participating students should be in grade 8 or below. \nPlease register your students by Jan 15th \nAfter you register you will receive an email with word lists to study so the earlier you register\, the better for your student. \nAre you a member of Homeschool Alabama?  Be sure to include your discount code!  Want to join Homeschool Alabama today?  Visit HomeschoolAL.org for more details\, and check with Essential for an Active School membership code. \nCOST:  $25/family for student registration – no cost to attend and observe!
