The Scripps National Spelling Bee is canceling its 2020 national finals, citing"uncertainty around when public gatherings will be possible or advisable." Here, Erin Howard, center, is cheered by her fellow co-champions during last year's finals in Oxon Hill, Md.The Scripps National Spelling Bee is canceling its 2020 national finals, citing"uncertainty around when public gatherings will be possible or advisable.
The cancellation is a sharp blow to hundreds of expert spellers who had been hoping to contend for the national championship in the final months of the eighth grade — their last year of eligibility. With the finals called off, those spellers won't get the chance to compete at the highest level. While praising the students for their hard work and studies, Kimble added,"our first priority has to be the health and well-being of our spellers and their families and the hundreds of staff and spectators that come together for Bee Week."
Oh no. And the “immigrants” had to learn such American words. 2019: Rishik Gandhasri, Erin Howard, Saketh Sundar, Shruthika Padhy, Sohum Sukhatankar, Abhijay Kodali, Christopher Serrao, and Rohan Raja. Wait - what’s Erin and Christopher doing on the mix? Hope DJT isn’t watching.
