.........Serving Dutchess, Columbia & Greene Counties

 

 

The Community Spelling BEE is a signature event held each year in March in Dutchess County. It is supported by more than 50 businesses & organizations, and it is designed to bring people together to have fun for a good reason. The BEE directly supports literacy services for adults & children in our community. All spellers and sponsors are invited to join us for breakfast.

 

Teams of 2 come together & spell. We use Official Spelling Bee Words & Rules, but we have fun 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. The event will run from 8:45 AM until Noon, and will include a welcoming coffee/tea and continental breakfast.

Spellers come from the community. Sponsors can send their own teams or we will find a team to represent the sponsor. Teams are comprised of high school & college students, and adults. Throughout the event every time a team spells, the Sponsor name is announced, and is shown on a custom-made sign that the Team holds up as they spell.
