There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

You have to keep your head in the game if you want to be the champion of the spelling bee. For this diverse group of teenage spellers, each presented word carries humorous, heart-wrenching and embarrassing stories of life at home. Keeping a clear head in the midst of these distractions can cause them to hear that soul-crushing “ding” of the bell – a spelling mistake. Only one can win, the rest get juice boxes. Light-hearted and funny, the TONY award winning show the 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee features audience participation – can you win the bee?
