Thirty-seven students representing their schools participated in the written spelling bee in late January. Five students earned perfect scores, spelling all 35 challenging words correctly. Because of COVID, there was not an oral round. 

The top spellers will compete in the 82nd Annual Denver Post State Spelling Bee on Saturday, March 5, at the University of Denver.
