Spelling Bee for Literacy

“Sharing Our Past — Shaping Our Future” Since 1974

Who will participate? 

Members of the community are invited to participate or sponsor a team. We are particularly encouraging local high school students and local businesses and organizations to participate. Last year, 40 three-person teams participated. Every high school in Chittenden County was represented as well as the University of Vermont, Saint Michael’s College, Verizon, and (the eventual winners) Wiener & Gale, PC. Participants not only exercised their brains, but also had a good time doing it.
