The National School Scrabble Championship is a Scrabble tournament for 5th-8th graders held in North America. It has been held annually since 2003. In 2009, for the first time ever, the event was won by a team of 5th graders. In 2010, and some prior years, the winners were invited to be on Good Morning America[1] and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[2] The event has also received recognition from president Barack Obama and NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal, who are advocates for the game themselves.[3]
