MCAEL's Annual Grown-Up Spelling Bee to Support Adult English Language Programming is held every spring and is our largest single awareness and fundraising event. It is also a fun time to cheer on our teams as they compete!

Hope you can join us this year on March 12th.

Will You BEE There?

Ready, Set, S-P-E-L-L!

Release your inner geek and cheer on teams of three as they compete in the Grown-Up Spelling Bee! The champion team for 2024 was BGE. Will they t-r-i-u-m-p-h or will another team buzz away with the victory?

What's the Buzz all about?

There are over 139,000 adults in Montgomery County who indicate they could benefit from English classes. Your support makes more ESOL teaching and learning possible. Join the Montgomery Coalition of Adult English Literacy for a r-a-m-b-u-n-c-t-i-o-u-s evening to support Adult English Literacy.

The Place to Bee:

Be a part of our hive of spectators and enjoy a fun night of food, cocktails, spelling and p-h-i-l-a-n-t-h-r-o-p-y! Whip out your phone and be ready to tweet. Audience participation is part of the fun #MCAELSpellingBee

Invite your friends, colleagues, help us spread the buzz!
