SugarBee Apple sponsors Scripps National Spelling Bee

For the third consecutive year, SugarBee Apple, a prominent apple brand renowned for its exceptional honey-sweet taste and unmatched crispness, has partnered with the 2024 Scripps National Spelling Bee.

In addition to sponsoring the Scripps National Spelling Bee, SugarBee Apple presents the Scripps Educator of the Year award. This prestigious award celebrates educators who exhibit exceptional commitment to their students, leaving a lasting impact on their education and personal growth. The awardee is chosen based on their noteworthy contributions to the education sector and their ability to motivate students toward academic excellence.

This televised event, spanning a week, showcases both students and their educators. This year, the spotlight shines on a teacher who attributes his mastery of the English language to spelling bees, especially as a second-language learner. The 2024 Educator of the Year title goes to Alexander Carr.

“We are honored to present the Scripps Educator of the Year award to Dr. Carr,” said Julie DeJarnatt, marketing director of SugarBee Apple. “Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the minds and futures of our children, and we want to recognize and celebrate their exceptional efforts in creating a positive learning environment. SugarBee Apple growers proudly support the Bee’s educators and their devotion to inspiring every child to discover their potential to innovate and create something magical.”

Bee Week 2024 is scheduled to begin on May 26th at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. Over 200 spellers hailing from various corners of the country and globe will convene in the Washington, DC, area to compete for the prestigious title of National Spelling Bee Champion.

The SugarBee Apple growers wholeheartedly support The Bee’s mission to empower every child to unleash their potential while recognizing the dedication of over 70,000 educators who steadfastly support the Scripps National Spelling Bee program annually.

“To all of the families and students who work hard each year to compete in local, state, and national competitions, we are proud of your continued drive to excel,” said SugarBee orchardist Cass Gebbers, one of the proud growers of the SugarBee apple.

“We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Scripps Spelling Bee, in addition to regional Spelling Bee competitions,” said Gebbers. “We believe in the power of words and the importance of literacy. We are proud to support the Bee’s educators and their devotion to inspiring every child to unlock their potential and strive to reach incredible goals.”
