Genesee County Regional Spelling Bee

Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) is the host site for the countywide spelling bee for grades 4-12. Contestants must have participated and won the spelling bee in their local district prior to competing at GISD. The purpose of the spelling bee is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.
