Students from Brazosport ISD have been working diligently in preparation for the 2023 Zone 1 Brazoria County Regional Spelling Bee. BISD has hosted the Regional Bee for the past twelve years. This year the competition will be held on Thursday, February 16th at 5:00 pm in the Lake Jackson Intermediate Forum with Liz Fambrough and Kelli Montgomery 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 2023. 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, T.W. Ogg, Velasco, Lanier Middle, 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:
