All GCISD elementary and middle schools hosted spelling bees, which were held November-January at the various campuses. First place winners now advance to compete in the Area Bee competition, along with Carroll ISD, which will be held on January 26 at GCISD’s Professional Development Center. Area Bee winners then advance to compete in the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee with the top two winners from that competition earning a spot to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
