| This is my 20th year with FCPS. Same school. We have never had a spelling bee, but we do hold the geography bee. |

| No, but I wish we did and I'd be willing to organize it. I'll be watching this thread with interest. |

| What about all of those poor spellers? Won't they develop poor self esteem if the don't get a trophy? |

Our DD is going into K next year... I hope ours has one! I loved our spelling bee... maybe because I won two years in a row  It was very exciting as a kid!

LOL, why do Indians love spelling bees so much? I love them too, so this is not disparaging, but our school is maybe 20% Indian/East Asian but the spelling bee is about 90%. |

Is it age-adjusted?

| Which schools hold these - spelling or geography? We attend Bailey's ES (Falls Church- Fairfax County) and I am not aware of us having either - yet. |
