Visions is still seeking students to participate in the 2015 Annual Visions Spelling Bee. This event is open to all Home School Academy students in grades 1-8. Spellers of all levels are encouraged to compete.  We provide a relaxed atmosphere for students to experience this  competition.

Our spelling bee begins with a preliminary round for all grades. The top three winners of the preliminary rounds from grades 3-8* will participate in a final round from which the winner of that round will be eligible to participate in the Central Valley Spelling Bee Competition sponsored by the Sacramento Bee.  (The winner of the Central Valley competition wins an all-expense paid trip to Washington D. C. to participate in the National Scripps Spelling Bee in May 2015.)

 *Winners from first and second grade do not participate in the final round, as they are not eligible to progress to the Central Valley Spelling Competition which is Grades 3-8 only.

When: Friday, December 12, 2014
Time: Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m. First preliminary rounds begin at 10:00 a.m.
Where: Christ Community Church, 5025 Manzanita Ave, Carmichael, CA 95608

View the flyer for complete details and enrollment instructions, as well as finding links to the study words and rules.

Preliminary and final rounds are completed on the same day.  Certificates of participation and place winner certificates will be given.

For all questions  please contact Nancy Peterson in the Home School Academy office: 916-971-5518 or napeterson@viedu.org
