Lindenwood University will be the exclusive presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Regional Spelling Bee in connection with the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition.

This partnership engages many facets of the Lindenwood University community and provides resources for K-8 students, teachers and parents in 14 counties in Illinois and Missouri. Lindenwood University School of Education faculty will be offering study tips and advice to support students in their preparation for the spelling bee.

Additionally, Lindenwood University will serve as the host site for the two-weekend competition in March, pending COVID-19 best practices on group gatherings. The winner of this event will move on to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2021.

To participate in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Regional Spelling Bee presented by Lindenwood University, be sure to enroll your school with Scripps at www.spellingbee.com by December 20. For more information about the spelling bee program, visit STLtoday.com/bee.
