The competition begins on May 28 with the Preliminaries Test for all 281 competitors. The test includes spelling words

Sugarman, a 2013 United States Mint Proof Set, plus and Award Certificate, The SBCUSD Collaborative Spelling Bee is
affiliated with the Scripps National Spelling Bee, giving Cholbi access to official study guides and materials.
Isabel is not only an accomplished speller, she also builds websites and is learning computer programming languages;
she has also competed in the regional science fair every year since 2010; placing fourth in 2013. The talented Isabel is
also a musician and plays the xylophone, glockenspiel and vibraphone.
We will be tuning in on ESPN next week to cheer Isabel on. We hope the community will join in and show support for
one of the many special young people coming up in the Inland Empire, and in San Bernardino particularly! (WSSN-
