The 22nd Annual Adult Spelling Bee will be held on Sunday, March 1, 2020 at Ithaca High School.
What is the goal of the Annual Adult Spelling Bee?
All the proceeds from the Adult Spelling Bee support IPEI grant programs for teachers and students. During the 2018-2019 school year, IPEI funded 42 projects and programs across the Ithaca City School District. The grants provide funding for projects, programs and performances that directly involve students and promote collaboration between the schools and the community. These innovative ideas benefit teachers and students at all grade levels at every school at the Ithaca City School District.
What does the Bee look like?
The IPEI Adult Spelling Bee has teams of 3 spellers competing for the Fuzzy Bee Trophy. Each team is given 30 seconds to figure out how to spell a word and once time is up, the teams present their guesses on a whiteboard. There are 4 rounds of 8 teams competing with a final round to crown the championship team.
