2007 Spelling Bee Judges
Seventy-four students (up from 50 last year) will be selected to represent their own public or private elementary school, competing for the title of 'Top Speller' in Monterey County's 4th and 5th Grade Spelling Bee - this is after three rounds of competition at thirty-seven local elementary schools.
Thirty-four of the County's public and private elementary schools will send their two best spellers to represent their school with the hopes of bringing home the title. The top four spellers will receive a plaque and all finalists and alternates will receive ribbons and certificates of participation. Calling the words for this year's final round will be radio and TV cooking personality, Alan Mello.
Currently in its 23rd year, the 4th and 5th Grade Spelling Bee is sponsored by The Lyceum of Monterey County. Please join us and let the community know what an extraordinary job the students and judges do for this annual event. It is truly a 'feel good' story with excellent photo opportunities.
The Lyceum's mission is to inspire a life-long love of learning. We accomplish this by offering enrichment classes that aim to stimulate individual creativity, intellectual promise and academic motivation in children. The Lyceum's uniquely diverse program enriches the daily lives of children throughout Monterey County, including Salinas and Salinas Valley. We help local children to prepare for the future.
