In April 2016, these honorees were recognized for their excellence in the classroom and for consistently making a difference in the lives of Belmont’s children. Recipients were nominated by students, parents, and community members.

New for 2020, we are introducing some exciting changes to make the virtual Bee a more inclusive event than ever. The Bee will be divided into two segments: a Family Bee and a Teen & Adult Bee. While there will still be spelling, both Bees will now include trivia questions too! Questions will include everything from school-specific trivia, current events, mini challenges, to questions about trending tiktok videos. Everyone’s talents and knowledge base will be valuable, so build your teams accordingly.
