Here is a reminder that the Scripps National Spelling Bee is next week, and my son, Cooper Komatsu will be participating.
Cooper will be in Washington, D.C., representing Culver City Middle School and Los Angeles County.
The Scripps Spelling Bee will be shown on ESPN.
The televised days are one week from today, Wednesday, May 27, the preliminaries, and the finals are Thursday, May 28.
The listed times are for Eastern Daylight Time. So you will have to check local listings to see if they are the same for Pacific Time. (http://spellingbee.com )
Cooper definitely will be in the a.m. preliminaries next Wednesday, and most likely he will be in the p.m.
After that, all bets are off.
His spelling bee number is 13 (out of 285 contestants).
So his turn will come up early.
Students are listed alphabetically, by state/country. We are lucky we live in California and not Wyoming.
