What’s all the buzz about?
The Community Spelling Bee is our annual signature event, supported by over 75 businesses and organizations. It’s more than a competition—it’s a celebration of learning, collaboration, and community! This event directly supports life-changing literacy programs for adults and children in our community.
How does it work?
- Teams of two face off in a fun and friendly spelling competition.
- No eliminations during regular rounds—scores are tallied, and top teams advance to the final round.
- Prizes and special awards add to the excitement!
Who spells?
Spellers come from all corners of the community! High school and college students, as well as adults of all ages, are welcome to participate. Sponsors can send their own teams or have us find enthusiastic participants to represent them. Each team proudly holds a custom-made sign displaying their sponsor’s name every time they spell.
Fun with a purpose!
Your participation helps fund literacy services that transform lives:
- Adults gain essential reading, writing, and English language skills, earn GEDs, obtain citizenship, and secure better jobs.
- Children in our programs build grade-level reading skills, unlocking opportunities for lifelong success.
