Get your dictionaries ready — it’s that time of year again!

On March 21, 2018, the Northampton Education Foundation will hold its beloved annual event, the Adult Spelling Bee, for the 18th time. 

The NEF Bee is well attended by an enthusiastic audience of community members and NEF supporters. Up to 40 teams composed of three adults, most in costume, vie for awards in spelling, costume and humor. It is broadcast live by WHMP while recorded for replay by NCTV. If you participated in the past, we hope to have to your enthusiastic presence again this year. If you have not, please consider registering a team or sponsoring a team of spellers.

Funds from the NEF Spelling Bee support our Small Grants for Teachers program, started in 1991 and reaching virtually all grade levels, program areas and disciplines.
