Students from Brazosport ISD have been working diligently in preparation for the 2024 Zone 1 Brazoria County Regional Spelling Bee. BISD has hosted the Regional Bee for the past thirteen years. This year the competition will be held on Tuesday, February 13 at 1:00 pm at The Center for the Arts & Sciences with Kelli Montgomery, Cheryl Wood, and Liz Fambrough organizing this year’s event.
The top two spellers from participating campuses will face off for the opportunity to advance to the Scripps Houston Public Media Spelling Bee that will be held at a date to be determined in late March 2024. The winner of that bee will then go to Washington DC to contend for the national championship.
BISD will be represented by nine campuses including A.P. Beutel, Bess Brannen, Madge Griffith, Lanier Elementary, T.W. Ogg, Rasco Middle, Clute Intermediate and Lake Jackson Intermediate. Please help us congratulate these campus winners and give a special thank you to our guest judges for the event. Below is a list of participants and campus sponsors:
