HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As workplaces and schools embrace hybrid environments, spelling enthusiasts will soon do the same. Get ready to spell it out with Stride's second annual National Spelling Bee, a virtual and in-person competition with the 1st place winners walking away with $2500 and a new gaming laptop.
"The Stride Spelling Bee was a challenging and rewarding experience. For me, it stirred up self-confidence and a competitive spirit, and I loved the opportunity to meet my peers from all over the country," said Ilyannie Tuason Gonzalez, 4th grader at Washington Virtual Academy and 2021's elementary division Bee champion, and author of the children's book Pumpkin.
Stride, Inc. (NYSE:LRN), the nation's leading provider of online and blended education programs, is inviting all students in grades 3-12 across the country to compete in multiple rounds of epic word games at the school, state, regional, and national level. Any eligible student can participate starting at the state level, whether they are enrolled in a Stride K12-powered school or not.
"We need to reimagine our educational system as well as the programs that support them," said James Rhyu, CEO at Stride "This is just one example of many we plan to launch of how we are going to help do just that."
Regional winners of Stride's National Spelling Bee will get to take their skills offline and receive an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC to compete and showcase their talents on a national stage. The national winner in elementary school, middle school, and high school will each receive a $2,500 Amazon e-gift card, and a state-of-the-art gaming platform furnished by CDW, along with a trophy for their efforts. Prizes will also be given to state and regional winners, as well as second and third place prizes at the national level.
