Please visit the new page to apply.
Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley presents the 28th Annual Community Spelling Bee, a fun-filled event for high school students, college students, and adults of all ages to support adult and family literacy services in the Hudson Valley. We are looking for spellers to participate in the Bee!
Teams of two come together and spell. We use official Spelling Bee words and rules, and we have a good time while doing it. No teams are eliminated in the regular rounds; scores are kept. The teams with the highest scores go to the final round. We have prizes and special awards. This Bee isn't a gateway to any national competitions; it's just for local fun and bragging rights.
The Annual Community Spelling Bee supports reading programs for adults and families throughout our service area. Our volunteers are helping people obtain a GED, become US Citizens, and get better jobs. They are reading to their children and helping them become better students. Success in literacy truly changes lives-we see this every day!
