The school Spelling Bee Champion will advance to the Fairfax county regional competition. The regional winner will go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee representing Fairfax County.
Poplar Tree School Spelling Bee competition is open to students in grades 3 to 6. Registration deadline is 01/31/23.
