Genesee Intermediate School District

Partnering for Success!

The Genesee Intermediate School District is excited to announce and congratulate the participants and winners of the 2024 Countywide Spelling Bee. This year, 200 students from 17 different districts, public school academies, and private schools across Genesee County put their spelling skills to the test.

Each student to place in the top three of the Regional Spelling Bees received a medal along with a gift card to Barnes & Noble. Students who placed in the top three of the Championship Spelling Bees (one for grades 5-8 and another for grades 9-12) received a plaque along with a Barnes & Noble gift card. First place winners of the championship divisions (grades 5-8 and grades 9-12) received a trophy to take back to their school, where it will be proudly displayed for the next year.
