The 2020 Statewide Scripps Spelling Bee previously scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at St. Michael’s College has been postponed until further notice.
St. Michael’s College has canceled all public events on campus until at least April 14th.
It is unclear at this time whether or not the Scripps National Spelling Bee will take place as scheduled in National Harbor, Maryland, near Washington, DC, May 24-29.
In the meantime, VTDigger, the Scripps media sponsor and partners Vermont Principals Association and the Vermont Humanities Association, are in contact with Scripps and working to put a plan in place for the 30 school champions who hope to represent the Green Mountain State in May.
For more information, please contact Liz Raddock, Liz@VTDigger.org and check the Vermont Superintendents Association website for updates.
