The winner of our homeschool bee will represent homeschoolers at Greater Capital Region Spelling Bee sponsored by the Times Union and Capital District BOCES, which will be held at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady in February. This bee will also include about 100 students representing public school districts and private schools in the twelve county circulation area served by the Albany Times Union. Admission is free and open to the public, with the doors to the theater opening at 4 p.m. The bee will also be televised on a local cable station.
IMPORTANT: Students spelling in the Proctor's bee will need to have parental permission in order to participate, due to the television coverage this year. Capital District BOCES must receive a signed consent form prior to the bee, or the speller will not be able to spell in the Proctor's bee. Here is a link to the consent form.
The winner of the regional bee at Proctors wins an all-expenses trip to Washington DC to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee during "Bee Week," which traditionally begins on Memorial Day weekend and continues through the following Friday. Parts of the Scripps National Spelling Bee are broadcast live on ESPN and/or ABC.
