Scripps Spelling Bee in California
Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2006 2:55 pm
We live in Los Angeles country, and do independent study at Laurel Springs School (www.laurelsprings.com).
My daughters are all fired up about competing in a spelling bee, but I cannot find ANY information on how homeschoolers break into the local bees... actually, I have searched high and low, and cannot even find any information about a local spelling bee here in Los Angeles county.
The Scripps website is not helpful either, offering only the information that the winners come up via their own school's competition.
But we all know for a fact that homeschoolers have been rather successful in past spelling bees.
Does anyone have any idea where I can turn for more information?
(I know our local brick-and-mortar schools do not participate in Scripps, so it's not just a matter of "crashing" a school competition where we live).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
