Each Spring the Brookline Foundation Spelling Bee brings our diverse community together for a wonderful fundraising event. Businesses, PTOs, neighborhood and community groups, town and public safety organizations all sponsor teams of three spellers.
Competition is intense, both to win the coveted bee as well as for best costume.
Distinguished judges and pronouncers, prizes contributed by local businesses, and a diabolical selection of words all contribute to the festivity. A Children's Spelling Bee for fifth graders is held before the adult bee. The poise and spelling ability of the young participants is most impressive. This year, the Eighth Brookline Foundation Spelling Bee and Fourth Annual Children's Spelling Bee was held on March 11, 2001. Many teams are sponsored by local businesses and community organizations so, if you want to spell, contact us.
